Default Chrome wheels

I had some wheels chromed five years ago by a guy in California on my Fatboy. I do not remember his name or business. I now have a pair of wheels I need chromed for my Road King. There are several places on Ebay that do exchange chrome. I am looking for some good recommendations for chroming wheels. Let's have your comments and experiences. Who would you use now? Bill

I just did the exchange with "Excaliber Plating", Very impressed with the wheels i received, Nice people to deal with!

I would not recommend ChromPro out of Texas, 4 small pieces, it took over 4 months, to get them back, and everytime i called to check on them, they lied to me! They even lied on when they shipped them out. I will be very surprised if, the Chrome does not start to peel, does not feel right??
