Does anyone know of or recommend a good place to get my wheels chromed in the so cal area, preferably san diego area?

Thanks for any answers in advance!

You might want to see south of the border for this one. They don't chrome as much as they use to because of EPA regulations.

it's for the enkei emx super 7s, I have the RS1 version but I want them chrome.. so if someone wants to trade for the gunmetal color I'll do it since I'm covering the color anyway..

I'm not sure how I feel about heading south, I've heard some horror stories about going down for car-related things. lol

thank you very much. I already called dent time, they painted my boyfriend's tails and did an awesome job, but they referred me to another company but they're super expensive. I'll check out the other link though when I get time (I'm at work hehe)

I have two options I use 1 is Discount tire in lemon grove
ask for Hugo tell him Ernie with the Lava box sent you he will hook you up with a good price to have the wheels chromed at a place in LA called Wheel tech I believe. This is where I got mine done and it takes about a week .

or #2 is I have a friend from CITY lowrider club here in Chula Vista that does all my chrome said he can get it
done tripple plated in oceanside for that price I can get you his number if you want Pm me thanks
