Wheel Chroming - Good and Bad Vendors?
I am going to have the wheels on my Fat Boy chromed, and was wondering who some of the vendors are that are recommended and who should be avoided? So far I think I am considering ***** Shiny as my first choice, but would like to hear from those of you that have had experience with them, both good and bad. Also, I live in Ohio and would like to know if there are any chrome companies in my area that do good work. Besides saving money on shipping my wheels, it is also always nice to deal with local businesses in case any warranty work needs handled.
Thanks for any info you can provide!

This thread can be deleted. I'd do it myself, but I am not sure how to. I was able to find the info in other past threads.
Should have researched it further before starting this new thread.

All of the large wheel manufacturers in Southern California use Quaker City http://www.quakercityplating.com/chrome.html to chrome their stuff. they really do not cater to individuals as they are constantly filling large orders. For where you live check out Brown's Plating.

I am sure there lots of small chrome shops much closer to you but I thought I would throw this out there for you.

I have purchase plenty of things from the guy in the link below and all I can say is he is top notch. I have never had any issues with anything I have bought from him and I am sure there are a few others here on the forum that can agree.

I'm in the process of doing a chrome exchange with Impress Plating in SoCal. They have an ebay store that shows all the wheels that you can trade up for the chrome ones.
So far the customer service has been great and they have lots of good reviews on this site and others.
