I have all rims chromed and are on the car. I'm really not computer smart so me showing the rim was just basically a test to see if I knew how to do it before i posted a pic of my car.

Phew, that turned out really damn nice. (Be careful, Dan might get a little jealous).What'd you use to get them so shiny?

That looks very nice. Did you polish them before they were chromed?

There is a place here in New Orleans called house of hubcaps. They have a contact in Ca. and they had 3 already chromed believe it or not. I had to wait 2 months for the fourth rim. The deal was that I pay a cost and whenthe chrome rims came in I swap my original snowflakes for the chrome. Funny thing is , when the chrome ones came in they didn't ask for my originals. So now I have an extra set of rims and tires.
