Hey C,

It may be more cost effective to just get another set of wheels and sell your old set.

I wanted to rechrome my curbed chrome rim at one point as well. Thought of it is gone since I use my car as daily driver.
Gonna just drive the rims to the ground and just get a new set when done.
From what I understand, its gonna cost about $150-$200 to redo the chrome lip.

ive got a curbed rim, a VW Golfed rim which i replaced with a pitted rim, and all my other wheels are pitted....6 year old chromes + NY + wintery salty torosheet = well what i just listed above.

Be happy with your single curbed lip...



btw, what the hell is up with me hearing airplanes flying over my house at the exact same time every morning?

Rock it for now, then get a new staggered set-up in the fall. D2 and other wheel vendors on planet earth will have some clearance sales then.
