Popular Post dogg rescue Posted October 6, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2017 Wondering if anyone knows where to get chrome wheels for a die-hard spoke fan? Watching OutBack truckers I see some of the Aussies have chrome on there Dayton style wheels. I have not seen much available here in the states. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmyb Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 You can get your normal rims electroplated if you can’t find any to buy. Chances are they will be a lot better quality than the cheap ones. But finding the right company to do it is another matter. Best of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Pommerening Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Might want to look into powder coating. Have seen some that looks VERY close to chrome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
