You don't need to pay somebody to do that. Buy some chrome polish and do it yourself. I guess if you wanted to pay someone to do it you could take it to any detail shop.2000 GTP<br />Thrasher CAI, 3.4\" pulley, DHP PCM<br />Member RedLineVSix<br />Best ET-14.02<br />Best Trap-97.15

Be careful. If you have stock mags, chrome polish will take off the finish. I tried that with mine, and the finish is starting to fade, so pretty soon, I'm just gonna' strip the old stuff off and re-coat them myself.1992 Arctic White Firebird<br />3.1L V6, TB Coolant Bypass, CAI, Turbo Muffler, other little things.<br /><br /> <a href=\"http://www.geocities.com/colinobu/MyHomepage.html\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.geocities.com/colinobu/MyHomepage.html</a> <br /><br />\". . .Finger in the air and the flag still wavin\'. . .\"

Very easy to do, though it is time consuming. It usually takes me a couple of hours to polish them by hand. They have a smooth mirror finish to them when you are done and look brand new. The best polish I have ever used is called Wenol, I have only seen it at a large car show they have here called the Cavalcade of Customs. There are lots of other that make chrome polish, Turtle Wax makes a good one, and they all do a good job.2000 GTP<br />Thrasher CAI, 3.4\" pulley, DHP PCM<br />Member RedLineVSix<br />Best ET-14.02<br />Best Trap-97.15

How do you put it on? just rub all over the rim and wax it in or what? Does it look professional or kinda sloppy?2001 SOM Camaro SS<p>Direct flo lid---Lakewood LCAs----Edelbrock Torque Arm-----Lous Short Stick---Dynomouth 3\" Exhaust---SLP Center Mount Exhaust---Poly tranny and torque arm mounts.<p>My site....http://community.webshots.com/album/49413018hRfdbP

Forgive my complete ignorance, but it sounds like you're talking about making regular alloy rims look like chrome rims right? Not dressing up already chrome rims to look new?1997 silver Camaro RS<br />|T-Type Powered|<br /><a href=\"http://www.kwfbody.com\" target=\"_blank\">Looking for a local F-Body club in K/W, Ontario, Canada?</a>

Your best bet would probably be to find a set on Ebay. I recently got a set of perfect but used chrome GM factory rims from a '99 Z28 for $600.00. The Eastwood Company makes a polishing kit but it looks like it would take a long time to use and a lot of tools are required (would cost more than buying used set)\'01 Camaro M5 1SA \"Lightweight\" hardtop, Bright Red, Ebony cloth, FRA, Whisper Lid, B&B cat-back, Torsen 3.73 LSD, HPPIII (93 octane setting)<p>\'00 Camaro SS M6 T-Top, all GM and most SLP opts., Bright Red, Ebony leather, 4.10s, SLP long tubes, Loudmouth, CNC Stage II H/C, etc.
