Chrome Plating in Dallas
I would like to have my OEM 7 spoke wheels chrome plated. I would like to avoid the shipping process involved with using EBAY vendors.
I have used the Search function on the forum and found plating vendors on the east coast, west coast and Chicago, but nothing in Dallas, TX.
Does anyone have any experience with a chrome plating shop in Dallas that they could recommend for plating OEM 07 ES OEM wheels?
Thanks.

I heard some good things about Show'N'Go Chrome 972-343-8871, from some Mustang people I know from the Dallas area, but that was a few years ago. The other thing you can do is hunt down a few restoration shops and see who they use. Also what level of chrome quality do you want? Show quality is going to cost you. It wouldn't surprise me to see $300 or more per rim for very good quality. You may be able to find OEM style rims already chromed on Ebay for less.

thanks for the reply. I'm looking for OEM quality plating. I can get them on EBAY for ~$500 + my wheels (Send my wheels + $500 + $200 for shipping). Buying them outright runs about $1000 + $100 for shipping.
I'd like to avoid the shipping and find a local shop in Dallas. It's also nice to see the shop before I give them my business.

I bought chrome plated OEM wheels for my '04 Lincoln LS back in 2005 from CA based operator. One wheel did delaminate the chrome in one year, the other three were just okay. Better to buy aftermarket chrome wheels from a reputable manufacturer and sell yours on e-bay to help finance the cost or keep them when you trade the car in.

You might scour over Craigslist and find a set that has been taken off a newer car. Might even find some at a wrecking yard. "Affordable Wheels" gets theirs out of California, and I bought a set a few years back and they were great. Scott, the owner, might be able to get a set locally.
The Dealerships would be good if they would come down a thousand $$$ or more.

Chrome plating OEM wheels should be illegal. It looks hideous and nobody ever takes care of them!!! The last place you want chrome on a car is where it can and will come into contact with corrosive brake dust. Unless you have ceramic brake pads, clean your car on a regular basis, and know how to park without hitting the curb...... do not get chrome wheels!! please!!

Thanks for the information Wicked SC. I only live about 15-20 minutes from them. That gives me peace of mind that there is a chroming place in/near Dallas. For standard alloy wheels, I highly recommend Spec Wheels in Forney, just about 15 minutes further east on I-20. They do great repair work on alloy wheels and paint them back to factory original......about $135 and sometimes they have one on the shelf for exchange. Thank you.

Rb chroming in dallas is supposed to be great ! If you go to ebay, there are other forms of chroming other than the standard "old style" chroming. You can read all about it, but they supposedly don't have quite the shine regular chroming has.
If you "dicker" with lexus, you can buy a oem set for about $1,750 as i was told their cost on them is $1,495. I don't know. Affordable wheels and hubcaps in carrollton quoted me $800 for four (4) wheels, and i've used him before and they lasted for years.
Good luck. I'd google rb chroming in dallas.
