SV6 17" rims!! can they be sprayed chrome?

[Bizzy029]

Hi,
i have a Black VZ SV6 with the standard 17" SV6 rims that came with it..

wondering;
*can they be sprayed chrome?
*where would i go to get this done?
*what would i be looking at as far as price goes roughly?
*how long would it take to be done?

i have no knowledge of the above and hoping someone can help me in the right direction.

was going to buy 18" XHP Jet chrome rims but for $1600 i thought better of it once i seen the price and have now decided to go with the chrome spraying if possible. and dropping the car 1 1/2" around all 4 corners, now that my stereo is up and running.

well chrome isnt exactly a "paint" as such.
its an electroplating process. unless you just want a shiny silver paint.

maybe speak to these people.

They alloy? Can you get them polished perhaps? Im not too sure what affect the elctroplating process would have on alloy but i doubt itd be friendly

guess i'll try giving them a good polish, but was hoping for the chrome look, never mind, back to the drawing board, or hope the boss offers more overtime lol.

Mate, any small runs that get re sprayed look **** house!
If affordability is a problem just get the lowering done first and it will improve the cars looks a ton.

sorry for the late reply,
as it turns out i have been given plenty of overtime over the past week and now look to have extra cash to purchase a set, so at this stage thats what i will likely do, although in the long term i may require them to be done so i will keep your contact name saved on the computer and depending what happens may drop you a line.

PS: looking at purching 18" or 19" XHP chrome jets, and dropping the car on its belly. although i have heard XHP may has gone into liquidation?? not sure if thats true or not, guy was telling me at a wheel/tyre joint today (won't name the place though).
