Re: Chrome Plated
How long is your piece of string guy?
Lusinco is probably your best bet in CPT. AE still rules for me though.

Re: Chrome Plated
you cannot only chrome the lip. the entire rim is dipped but first the centre is taken out of the rim and welded back afterwards as far as i understand. goldfinger in elsiesriver can do it

Re: Chrome Plated
Rostyles don't need to be chromed for them to look good, all you have to do is paint them in two colours so that the detail on the wheel stands out 
If it's too low, you're too old

Re: Chrome Plated
chrome the whole thing, not just the lip... otherwise maybe chrome-look powder coating?

Re: Chrome Plated
I would chrome the lip and the five spokes.
