Default Re-Chroming wheels

So i have a set of 20" saleen chrome wheels and they dont shine like they used to. Was wondering if anyone knows of the price to do this? Or am i better off just buyin new wheels?

I've been researching this as well..... It seems that most of the time it's actually cheaper to buy new wheels, but that will depend on how expensive your current/potential wheels are. I checked around here and it's about 200 bucks per wheel, so around 800 total. The reason it's so expensive is that there is actually more labor involved in resurfacing / dipping an old wheel than it is to do new ones. Less prep work on the new ones. Make sense?

I found this stuff originally on the F-150 site. The reviews were good enough for me to drop the $30 this stuff costs, inc shipping.

It is truly amazing how good and effortless it is. After I painted my F-150 and polished the factory wheels that were looking really sad. ['94 F-150] I actually had people ask if I had replaced the wheels also?

It's only available online at very few places. Beats Mothers and the others.
