Not sure if you are on Ebay, but there is a company called Chrome Pros Plating in Texas that has an online store on Ebay. I believe you can just Google their name too. They did a fantastic job on a pair of mags for a Sportster I had.

I think they offered chrome exchange for about $700 or $800 for a pair of wheels or you could buy them directly for about $1100. That was for a set of Sportster mags. I think it ultimately depends on the type of wheels you are having chromed.

I ended up just buying new wheels, they wanted roughly 500 a wheel to re chrome them, then it was gonna cost out the *** to get them trued again if i was to powdercoat them so it was a better deal to just buy new wheels. got an 80 spoke set from an ebay store for $365 shipped.
