Decided to Chrome the original 18" wheels, despite mixed reactions to the "glitz" of Chrome. I actually bought a second low miles set of wheels/tires, and used those for this Chrome project so I did not have any "down time"!! Plus I have the 550 mile OE's in case I don't end up liking the chromes or if the next owner (?) wants the OE look!
Suprised what this combo looks like in the sun!! Lots of thumbs up around town. I think with a dark color like the Daytona, this is a good looking combo. Now I need to find out how I can get the plastic center caps chromed or find some other wheels with chrome center caps.

Larger would be better but I like it.

 

Here is a close up. The wheel center caps are now out for chroming. Had to find someone who did the chrome on plastic process. The chromed logo comes off the cap, the disc gets chromed, and then I will re-attach the logo.

 

How big do you want them? I can resize upward, I reduced size to upload to my prior message on this thread.

 

Paulv,

i was thinking on doing the same with my wheels...how much did they cost to get done...i live in central IL and would be interested on where you got them done also?

 

nice
how much did it cost ?

 

After checking with chrome shops on the East coast and in Michigan, I found the best price at Wheels Of America in Arlington Heights IL. They do have other locations throughout the country. They still have to send the wheels to California for chroming. Cost was $200.00 per wheel.
I understand that Courtesy NIssan is planning to offer Chrome wheels. I have not checked their web page lately. At one time they were promising March availability.

 

Thanks Paul....i went to my nissan dealer where i bought my 350z and they looked up the price on those new chrome wheels that nissan is offering which i presume are the same ones that courtesy nissan is offering also....the price they told me was outrageous...1400 per wheel...yes 1400 per wheel...so i might just get them dipped like you....thanks for the info...

 

not for nothing i could of told you that sorry if i sound like a ***.
but even the stock wheels cost about 1100 a wheel at dealer.

 

very nice
