Default wheel exchange?

Has anyone done this? There are a few people that do it on ebay, where they take you stock wheels and send you chrome wheels, that are the stock style they would just be chromed. Just wanted to know if anyone has used any of these companies that are on ebay, and how was the quality and customer service?

Thanks in advance!

RJ

User Chromepros on E-bay hooked me up a couple years back with a chrome swing arm for one of my bikes and I couldn't have been happier... Excellent packaging, shipping, & customer service. The chrome turned out really nice and still looks like new today. But, this was a few years back (should be the same level of service/quality) But, you just never know.

I also used Chrome Pros with no problem, but I sent them my wheels.

I have also dealt with ChromePro out of Corpus Christi, Tx. Very good to deal with. Even being Canada, they provided excellent service and fast shipping. Also very helpful on the phone.

awesome thanks guys! hell of a lot cheaper than going for say a Renegade wheel, although I love the contrast cut

I used ChromeProsPlating, and I couldn't be more pleased. I made it a winter project cause I wanted MY wheels chromed. They did an outstanding job. Three years later and no cracking, peeling, or chipping. I highly recommend them. I didn't go the EBay route, just called em, and set it up. $550 for BOTH wheels, and they grind off the little nubs between the spokes and really make them look sweet.
