    Blast and Powder Coat your OEM's, Prices very $50-$100 each.

    OK...Just can't find someone nearby that can do it for me. Clearly the opinion of the list.

    Thanks for the post.

    The beat goes on...

    Found a chroming shop. The plan was to condition the wheel and powder coat. Cost $100/wheel + fees for tire removal, replacement and balancing. Even the guy at the shop thought it would probably work out to be better just to buy new since Town Fair Tires will do all the labor for no charge. So back at it again, searching for a replacement wheel for my 18' OEMs. New ones will not have chrome. Wouldn't mind getting black.
