Default rims?

I have been shopping around getting quotes on having the rims on the Stang refinished.

The rims are original so I don't want to go out and buy some piece of you know what made in China or somewhere.

I got one quote to have the rims dipped that was $200 / rim and another that was $150 / rim.

Does anyone know of some cheaper way to pretty them up?

Basically, a couple of the rims have some peeling of the outer layer and they are getting a little corosion type look to them.

Any hints, ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Just wishing they sold chrome finish in a spray paint can

the repros are really well done... i wouldnt hesitate to purchase a set if i needed them. like i said in another post, i used to work at npd, so i handled many of them. never saw one that wasnt beautiful.

Well believe it or not out here we have chrome and gold paint in a spray can. I thought about painting my grille chrome.

i dont think youre rims are orignal.

they look like 15s. the only original rally wheels that came on mustangs were 14x6.

and i agree with waffles, the repro 15x7 rallys are beautiful. my dad has em on his 66 with the white lettered tires. amazing.

but if your rims ARE original 14x6 i say get the 15x7 anyway.

I used the chrome spray paint on the inside of my taillight housings. It's pretty reflective, so it should help the taillights be a bit brighter.
