Enough money to where you could buy a new set of rims if you were going to chrome the stock ones...it isn't worth chromin the stock rims...just go buy a new set of chrome rims that look even nicer than the stock ones..

$10-15 Go to pepboys get some chrome spray paint (probably need two or three cans) and some clear coat. Clean the wheels really well and spray away. It should look pro

You are looking in the $125/wheel range. That's what an Acura dealer pays for the CL-S wheels to be plated.

Umm, I think it was meant as a joke..I think..

It won't look very good if you do this to your wheels.

Kinda just a joke I wouldnt try it but you never know. I have never used chrome spray paint so i dont even know what it looks like. I have used an aluminum color spray paint to redue a wheel on my mom's horse trailer. It had a little curb rash and looked really bad so i sanded it down really well, prepped it, put on a few coats of aluminum colored spray paint, and finished it off with a few coats of clear. It looks really good and has held up well but im not sure about the chrome. Wouldnt try it but its up to you.

alot of places will not chrome rims if there are curb marks or scratches (deep).

I can almost guarantee that no place will do it for under $200 each. There is a lot of prep work that would need to be done to make the wheel look good. I think it would look nice, but it is too spendy for me.
