Default Anyone ever had wheels re-chromed?

So heres the deal, a buddy of mine has some roush wheels on his roush.(Go figure) Anyhoo, he just bought some Fr-500s and offered me his 18x9 authentic roushs' for a good price. However, the chrome is peeling on 1 or maybe 2 of these. I'm wondering how much it costs to get these re-chromed. Anyone have any idea? Also are there any other alternitives?

Well to get them rechromed it's very expensive. You should take all the chrome off and polish the wheels. Or get them powderedcoated chrome.

I priced having some chrome wheels black chromed and said if the finish was in good condition still it would be a min. Of 100 a wheel and if it was in bad condition atleast 175 a wheel. I would have them powdercoated black chrome or chrome instead of chrome plated.
