Kliek daar op, skryf in die titel van jou storie, dan skryf jou storie in die ondergelede blok, en dan druk "send"

So bietjie van 'n blonde oomblik aan my kant, natuurlik werk dit soos op ander forums

Want to have my Bug's rims chromed when she's ready!
Think it looks brilliant!

The little I understand from this posting is that somebody want his rims chromed and want to know if it is a good thing. From talking with a place that chrome items, it is not a problem on steel , wheels, bumpers, trim, etc. but on alloy wheels the chemicals used to prep and do the chrome reacts with the alloys and make the rim brittle. To the point when you put side forces on it, like turning, the wheel might crumble or break. Thats why they do not recommend aluminum/alloy wheels. But if you want a shiny look, remove the paint and buff the alloy wheel to a shine and clearcoat. Or the latest, I believe it would be available in SA by now, is the chrome paint, when applied by a pro painter it looks just like it has been chromed.
