hey guys, im looking to get a set of rims but they have some corrosion on them. they are chrome. how could i fix them. i would be getting a sick price for them. could i just have them stripped and re-chrome them or something? how much would that cost?? thanks guys

also, what if i dont want chrome, could i re-finish them in polished silver?

you can finish them however you want them, prices vary from quality and place

I've heard these guys are pretty good but you could probably find somewhere closer to you. If you get them rechromed I wouldn't pay over 150 a rim plus shipping. Powdercoating should be cheaper.

Thinking about buying the RH EVO C2's on ebay? Haha, if so, I was looking at the same ones. :lol:

HAHAH, yep im looking at those. i may just get new ones though

You'll pay more than $150 a rim for a quality strip and rechrome job. Probably more like $200.

If you are in NY, check out www.wheelcollision.com They are in PA. Excellent work. They do rim repair, and pretty much every finish. However they have to send their wheels out to Cali to be rechomed.

I just used them a month ago. Beautiful work.

Keep in mind though, if they're bent, there will be a charge for that too.

I paid $1000 to repair and polish 4 Racing Hart C2s (three-piece wheels) just to give you a gauge.

Yeah I bent two of my SSR's and they actually were able to straighten them with very minimal damage to the finish, so I didn't have to get them striped and rechromed. That's how good they are.

well i wouldnt want them rechromed. i would just want them to be come out machined silver.

Not sure about that. You need to research what's involved in chroming wheels. I believe the original finish of the wheel is etched to bond with the metals that make the chrome finish (nickel?)

They can do whatever finish you want
