does anyone in houston know where i can get my rims dipped in chrome...i cant afford to buy new rims so i'm planning to do it the easy way to make my car better??

EricL

Don't know.

1. By better, you're talking about better looking
2. If and when you chrome them, you will add weight and slow the car down (better being a slower accelerating car).

Polish them. It's cheaper and it looks better.

I don't think chrome dipping is too cheap... you may just want to get new rims!

Call any of Discount Tire and asks them where. If they do not, they tell you where you can go. But I think chroming is not the answer. Is you rims scratch or something?

It'll run about $150 each to chrome your wheels. I dont think you can polish them, unless they're aluminum. It'll add a little weight...but I seriosuly doubt you'll notice any loss in performance.

I actually chromed the rims already, like you, I didn't want to spend the money, it was like $200.00 a piece to do. They took me about 5 weeks to do. The name of the company that chrome the wheels are Wheel Creations. You can call them at (559) 233-3654. and you can visit them at: www.wheelcreations.com

These people are located in Fresno,California I don't think they sell directly to the public, I went through a company called Roger Kraus in Castro Valley Ca,

The process that they do is that they find the wheels set of 4 wheels for you (All Acura Original) then they go through all the chroming process and then ship them out to you. You then have to exchange your Non chromed wheels that you have on your car now and ship them back to Wheel Creations, and you will keep the one's the chromed for you. This is what they call a core exchange.

If you need more info let me know, I will try to take some pictures so, you can see how they will look

i've seen our rims chromed and they do not look pretty...plus our rims are prone to scratching. if they get scratched, they would look worse with the chrome.

just my opinion...
