Default NYC Wheel Chroming
Hey guys I was wondering if anyone knew of a good and reasonably priced place in the NYC area to get some stock 17's chromed. I'm picking up a pair of GS rims and want to get them dipped. If anyone knows it would be appreciated if you could share that info with me. Thanks!

Unless you're getting them for free, it might be cheaper to search for a set of stockers in the classifieds. I believe the options are limited in terms of finding a chromer in the area.

Cliff is right...

To chrome a wheel its going to run you about $200+ a wheel. Your better off buying a set from the classifieds or go bigger like 19's

Welcome to CL Taeng. Having old stock wheels dipped will be a waste of money imo. Good luck

If it's not an emergency, be patient and they'll be on the classified before you know it. As soon as you stop looking for them, they'll show up
