    Default Chrome wheel repairs

    Is it still possible to get old chromed steel wheels repaired? My Dragway splats are dinged up and the chrome is either worn through to the nickel or starting to rust.

    I love the look of these wheels on my car but it hurts me to see the rust and dings.

    I've had a look at the website of a few companies that repair wheels but looks like most places repair alloys but don't mention anything about steel rims.

    You can get replacement Bands for them at whatever offset you want. Not cheap, I was quoted close to 3 big ones per rim but that included repolishing the centre and brought back to as new condition.. Just ring up any rim repair place and they will be able to help.
