Default wheels chrome dipped?

I have had one hell of a time trying to keep my wheels clean and shining. I was just wondering if anyone has ever had there aluminum wheels chrome dipped? If so how does it turn out and how much am I looking at spending? thanks

You can probally find a local place for about six hundred for fatboy wheels. At least thats how much it is here in Austin Texas.

Contact some of these places for a quote, any good shop should be able to make them look like it was from the factory. Check your local yellow pages too. The price will depend on what condition the rims are in, most of the cost is in the prep work.
