Chromed Wheel Lips...
Guys/Gals,
I'm been debating whether or not to have the lips of my wheels chromed and need a place to have it done. Anyone in the SC, NC, GA area know of a place that can do the work?
If it matters, I have a set of TSW Thruxtons

Those Thruxtons are indeed heavy, but do you seriously believe that chroming the lips would add any significant weight? I'm not being critical, just asking a question

While it may not add a very large amount of weight, wouldnt you want to avoid any excess weight to your rims? Also, you'll have to deal with the chrome chipping off. You can achieve the same results for the lip with a high polish and not have to worry about either of the above. BTW, nice rims I almost got the thruxtons, but decided to go with Ruff 278 instead.
