Chrome Slicers

[redftsho]

I've heard a lot lately about getting the slicers chromed, but i have NO idea where i could get that done. I also have no idea how much it would run for. Could anybody help me out.

Thanks,
later

In Pittsburgh I would imagine there would be a million places that would chrome the wheels. I would look under the automotive section in the phone book and see if anyone mentions anything about wheel straightening or wheel service and call them.
Or you could always go to a dealer and ask them. My boss has had the dealerships where he's bought most of his cars send the OEM wheels off to be chromed.

A place here in richmond charges $225 each. They do a triple dip and then theyre sealed, waxed, and polished.

Not a bad price, but the center caps are plastic right? So what are you gonna do when the rims are nice and chrome plated and you can't do anything with the center caps but paint......

Have them flash chromed(like on model car parts).It doesn`t look as good,or last too long,but it`s the only option.

Well is there any kind of polisher i could buy at Advance Auto Parts or Pep Boys? Or could i get them professionally polished?

Thanks

I was told some time back by 4chromewheels.com that the wheels that they have for the sho are not chrome but the factory silver. shrug

Not a chance,you`d have to get them polished professionally,or chrome powdercoated.I could polish a set no problem,but it would take time,and about $750.

What did you do the center caps with? I've heard you can use a SLO LX center cap because it is metal!

 

[jthomas68]

If you took time to read all of the posts,you would have seen the answer to your question.The plastic parts can be flash chromed.
As for the LX caps being metal,nope.The centers off a Mustang are made of aluminum and can be polished,although they have the Ford logo in the centers.You can also have a round disc machined of aluminum and epoxy it to the stock plastic cap.Good thing i didn`t heed your advise and leave,you would have never gotten your question answered.

Hey smartass... I did read all the posts and like it says flash chromeing won't last. I don't feel like haveing to redo it over and over again. I'm the type of person to do things right the first time. I think you have an attitude and untill you get that fixed you should leave!

 

[jthomas68]

You asked how he did the centercaps,the answer was already there.If you don`t like it,asking again won`t change the answer.Like i said,i can get centercaps that are adaptable and polish them...i just won`t ever do it for you.I`m a moderator,official sponsor,friends with the owners of the site,and helper of many here.Do you honestly think you`re going to get me to leave?

hmmmm....member # 84 vs member #3443 i wonder who's opinion is more valuable on the forum?

You were the one that said you were thinking of leaveing... and with the attitude you have towards so of the members here I thought it sounded like a pretty good idea. Frankly I don't see what difference it makes on what member number I am? I guess because I haven't been on the forum seen the began then I must not know anything! I simplly asked how he did the center caps, and he still has not replyed. I don't believe I asked you how he did HIS center caps. And in respones to your comment of how you wouldn't help me out, I wouldn't ask your help in the first place. In the last couble of posts I've seen you on you've been an ******* ! I don't really care if you leave or not but if you keep treating people like shit not too many people here are gonna like you.

One second thought maybe the member number does have something to do with this... The members that are joining now are future of this page (if it lasts that long) and even your member number is in the first 50, if no one likes you your not gonna get much respect. So keep treating the new members like shit and see what happens.

Oh,i get much respect from most of the members here.I know more about polishing aluminum than anyone else here,i just told you how the caps can be done.I`ve obviously looked into it,or i wouldn`t have been able to tell you any other options.
As for the member #`s,i didn`t bring that up,why argue it with me?Let me tell you this though,your theory on being here longer than me because you`re newer is flat out wrong.As i said already,i`m a partner in 3 of the SHO vendor companies,i`m in it for the long haul.If you just minded your own buisiness and didn`t get involved in what i was saying to someone else,this post wouldn`t even be here.
