You might be in luck kind of sorta maybe but with some but's

I have the wheel and it is a 21" but the chrome was bad so I had it stripped a few years ago. The aluminum is in great cond and would polish up real nice or it could have been powder coated and that is why I have it. Polished aluminum is nice and looks great but just does not look like chrome but chrome has problems and in time it will fail and if a guy keeps his aluminum poshed like he should then he will never have any. Yep just got off the phone with an X chrome plater friend of mine.

Next problem is I do not have a hub for it either.

Next problem you live in Canada and cost to send and then the time it takes you to get it. But that is your call.

Find you a chrome shop that specializes in billet aluminum and I could even send it to them 1st. Our chrome shop here in town does not have the right stuff to do them.

$200 and you pay shipping and I do have a wheel box to pack it in.

Time to do a little research I guess? I have been told it should not be that big of a problem once the measurements were taken so that I can do.

If I have some luck I will let you know and tomorrow I will get the needed info and send it to you and you can try you luck also.
