Talked to JVG last night and I’ve got some bad news. Unless the wheels were really expensive it’s going to be not worth re-chroming them. You’re looking at 400-500$ a wheel send out, re-chromed and send back. Nobody local does it. ---

me and justin can attest to the fact that there is NOBODY in NY that does it. we ended up shipping out a set of 24’s to I believe cali. it cost around 800 a wheel after everything was said and done. shouldn’t be a problem for ballers in a Navi on 23’s though. ---

There are 2 companies in NY that do it…each do it only the sly, somewhat illegally…so cost is about 500 per wheel. The best places to do it cost wise are in California, at about 250 per wheel…plus shipping. If its worth it to you contact me for info and I will dig it up. ---

is it cheaper to sell those wheels to cover some of the cost and buy the same ones new vs rechroming? ---

ummm… let me say this again… what about powdercoat? It’s it reasonably cheap (under $100 a wheel I believe), endless color options, and durable as all hell. If the wheels are pretty fuked than you might as well powdercoat them since rechoming and buying new wheels would be $$$$$$ [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/wheel-rechroming-in-the-area/235987.md?page=2)
