Default Re Chrome Plating Wheels - Who does quality work?

Any ideas where I can get a set of HD Agitator chrome wheels replated? The factory plated is starting to peel in certain spots.

Thanks!!

Cool

Browns no longer chromes wheels. Impress plating has done a great job on chrome wheels. They chromed my FLSTF wheels this last winter for around $350 a piece and they look great. There are many chrome platers out there that do exchange or chrome your own wheels. Do the research and you will see check the search on this forum lots of good advice.

I did an exchange with Impress earlier this summer for my stock StreetGlide wheels. The new wheels look GREAT! Very happy with them.

You are right. Browns stopped for a while, but they started plating wheels again. I got a quote from Ronnie at Brown's today.
