OK, I live in Central IL, and winter sucks. But with the bike in the garage I find myself looking for chrome. I'm looking for a shop that will blast and chrome my rims and triple tree. Anyone out there got any ideas or know of a place. I'd like to avoid shipping if possible, but I will do what I have to do to get the job done. Thanks

These guys do good work, but they are DAMN SLOW. When I sent my wheels to them to be done, they told me 4-5 weeks. It was more like 4 months. months. When they did ship my wheels back, they were shipped COD, which would have been ok, but I never received a phone call or email letting me know they were shipped.

One of the 'mainstays'. They've been 'round at least 40 yrs. Used 'em in the 70's, and in the 90's.
