Chroming Stock Wheels

Ok so I've been looking around for some aftermarket wheels, and really always had the thought of getting a set of the Alcoa Super Snake rims, but they aren't produced anymore, and Shelby American bought every set they could find to finish off the '12 Super Snake's. So while looking for an alternative I came across this site that will send you factory wheels that have been triple chromed, and you send them back your factory set once you receive the new ones. The cost isn't bad, $776 u.s. plus a $1400 deposit which you get back once they receive your stock wheels.

I actually really like the design of my stock Brembo Pckg wheels, but prefer the shine of chrome or polished aluminum. So my question is, is there any good reputable places in Alberta or Saskatchewan that anyone knows about that could do this to my wheels?

For the stock GT rims of current, i agree with you, the Brembo rims are hot, allok even hotter once the stang sits lower to the ground, and in my opinion looks hot as is..... But i am not a big chrome guy though, maybe polished might not be so bad.

Any chrome shop should be able to do it I would think. That being said I'm not a chrome guy either and contemplated sending mine to get powder coated black.

Well the rims are looking good... because of their chromic effect which is shining on the wheel but I think the price is too much. I know those wheels deserve that price but I am not in favor of this kind of expensive. Anyhow good sharing.. Thanks
