Chroming The Stock Wheels

Ok, I am embarking on a project of having the stock "snowflake" rims chromed. I thought that I had a company lined up but in a recent discussion with a rep, I found out that they don't do wheels. He also informed me that there were no companies in Northern California that did this. He did supply me with the name of a company in Anaheim though.
What I am looking for is some possible leads to companies that do chroming of wheels. Location is not a problem.
All help will be sincerely appreciated.

Gary,

While at the Ford Carisle show this past year,I picked up a brochure from Wheel Collision Center out of Bath, PA. They specialize in fixing Factory rims that are bent, cracked, scratched,out of round, etc. When I spoke to the guy there, he told me they would chrome, polish, or paint a set of TC rims for me. You may want to give them a call to see how much they charge. Here's their # 610-837-8792. Good luck & let us know how you make out.

Now I need to finish converting to Raven/Gray Leather interior & just do some Body work & she'll be like new.
