trying to find chrome rims for IH4700

[towcat]

My local source has went by the wayside thanks to the enviro nazis and the economy.
Western Chrome used to chrome my rims for me but not more.
Anybody else have a source for chroming 22.5 steel rims?
TIA

I had them do some work on my triumph It came out great but it wasn't cheap.

Why not just put on a set of Alcoas?

two words.....
company truck.
these guys have no respect for the rides

There's a plating place here in Modesto, but I'm sure there's gotta be a few in the East Bay. Check in San Leandro

How about the stainless simulators. Prolly a lot cheaper than chrome.

there's none in the sfbay area anymore(environazis) if you have a source, I'd like to hear about it.
western in fresno had a whole catalog of rims. reasonably priced too.
tonka-
I'd rather do rims rather than simulators. the effect is not quite the same.
there's something about throwing a set of rims on a plain truck and it really gives it "pop".

There's Modesto Plating at 436 Mitchell (209.526.2696)
Stanislaus Chrome plating at 610 7th ST in Modesto(209.521.8834)
and Valley Plating at 1236 N. Filbert in Stockton (209.465.4281)

towcat,

did you get some wheels?

 

[towcat]

nope.
gave up in the meantime.
clean them up really good and rattlecanned them.
I miss western....at $300/exch it was a helluva deal.

I was just curious, you know that my trucks see some of the most extreme off road work related duty and they are on Alcoas or Accuride wheels and they have a 5yr warranty for cracking. I have one still on steel and its because I never drive it! :lol:
