I like my rims.

My rims are pretty haggard.

I dont want them to be haggard.

Should i buy another set, or get them refinished?

prolly cost more than they are worth. Im sure the de-chroming and cleaning process is quite involved!

i worked in a crome plateing place about 10 years ago and back then it was not worth it, some times 2x what thay cost, but thangs may have changed

re-chroming is mostly left to the hard to find parts of OLD cars..

okay, thanks for the input.

since im getting new rims, now i gotta decide if i wanna go chrome or not. I only get to drive my truck from august-may (no summer), and the winters are pretty rough...

Waste IMO.

I think you should paint your truck flat black, smoke your head lights / tail lights, and get Police Interceptor rims like that other guy in flat black.

It'd be DOPE.

LMAO at wanting to re chrome non-forged rims........

the cost will be more than buying the same wheels new

if they see gey harsh winters, than get some colormatched silver rims or whatever color your truck is! or just black

i've thought about this, but paint jobs are expensive, and i dont want a half ass one.

you think paint is expensive, wait til you price re-chroming!

just for comparison sake, i was quoted $850 to chrome 2 of these rims. luckily i found a set someone had already done for much cheaper.
