chrome plating is dirty and environmentally unfriendly so it is getting harder and more expensive to get it done.

I HATE BLACK WHEELS

Chrome is my wheek of choice. Have spent a lot of money on shiney chrome wheels for my cars.

I take the wheels off my mustang and put the factory silver painted ones on for the winter, the Dart & Prowler do not get driven when there is any salt on the road.

Don't understand the blacked out cars but we build a lot of new cars with sport package. They put black moldings, door handles, wheels, mirrors ans even black out headlights and tailings some. Like the black grills over the silver in the cars, but the rest SUCKS!

THEY NEED SOME CHROME

During WW II chrome was removed from cars and they looked cheap compared to the ones with chrome.

Sue has polished aluminum wheels on her Flex, chrome would look a whole lot better.

For those with peeling chrome wheels something needs to be done, but if it come down to it I would only do the barrels if they needed fixed.

I have chrome and when they pit I will try to find someone that can do a silver shiny powder coat or anthracite. I like the look of anthracite on a wheel.
