I used Chrome Pros on my wheels and they look great. My only complaint with them was that it took more than twice the time they said it would and that they aren't the friendliest people in the world, therefore I think their customer service sucked. If you are looking for a fast turn around, don't use these guys.

I've used Browns Plating in Kentucky for 25 years, no complaints.
Haven't used them recently.
