Kevin R. Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 I love the way they look now personally. But yes, expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1647545494 Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 might be cheaper to find chrome takeoffs or rock some 26's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverAudiMike Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Wheel Medic, $600 for either traditional or black chrome, I have samples of both. Takes about a week as we have a plant in Cleveland. Give me a call at the office 614-299-9866. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverAudiMike Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 http://onwardcoatings.com/images/mustang_wheel.jpg Here is a mustang wheel we did a couple weeks ago. So far we have done 10 sets of the traditional chrome and 2 of the black chrome. 2 year warranty, does not pit and peal. You can read about the company that does it (we own both companies) http://onwardcoatings.com/Home_Page.html. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverAudiMike Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 2yr warranty against pitting and peeling? even if its driven in the winter? thats pretty damn good....salt will eat up chrome wheels Yes, it has a 2 year warranty against pitting and peeling. It is a chrome alternative that is a combination of powder coating and physical vapor deposition (see the link above). Its basically the same process that Edelbrock used in the past for their chrome finishes. It is also used in the semi-truck industry. All of the black chrome that people are selling on aftermarket wheels is the same process as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 06-08 chrome take-offs can be had for 400-500 on Craigslist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slimpsy1647545505 Posted October 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 06-08 chrome take-offs can be had for 400-500 on Craigslist. Pm'd you mike. And as far as take-offs. . the only ones I can find are the chunky spoke ones . . I prefer the ones I have in chrome (the clads) but I can't find a good deal locally on a set. My rims are flawless so I figured If I could wrap some money up in just chroming them, it'd be better than buying a new set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
