    My original set had chrome peeling as wel.
    I purchased a new set of aftermarket wheels , but didn't feel like throwing the old ones away.
    So I had them powdercoated .
    The company that did it said it would cost me 75 euro's each.
    I agreed and they went to work on it, but had such a hard time getting it right that I ended up paying 80euro's each.
    But even for that price they would never do it again. So I understand powdercoating chrome wheels is not so easy.
    I have the rims in storage but I'll post a pic next week.
    They turned out rather nice in silver grey.

    im full of questions tonight, when you guys are powdercoating, are you doing inside and out, im talking about inside the rim, the part that wont be seen because of the tire. i guess i ask because i was wondering if the powdercoating is applied where the tire seals on the wheel, or is that area taped off so that its a rubber seals to alloy? am i making sense?
