Okay, so I currently have black rims...BUT I want chrome rims, so I figure, why not just chrome my current rims? OH WAIT, their my only rims and still on the truck...last time I checked, you need rims and tires for the truck to be funtional and go places. SOOO, im in a pickle and need some ideas...How long does chroming take? I've heard two weeks so I could use the spare and keep rotating until done, but from what I've heard that would take 8 weeks...2 months? I dont like that...is there anywhere to get steelie rims for cheap? or any suggestions?

For S&G...here are the rims....

After chrome:

I've got a set of 17"/8" 5 lug stock ST rims that are taking up space . . .



Along with a set of Goodyear Wrangler SR-A P245/70R17's if you need them as well, have decent tread left on them.



PM me if you're interested more than happy to get rid of just the rims though.

 

sooo.... do we have to go to the tire rack site and guess what wheels you have?? lol

i prefer black or black/chrome wheels depending on the color of ur truck...

but buying steelies seems like a waste of money when you can just rotate with the spare for free..

 

ya cant see you wheels!

 

Damn...the link worked for me, its the Ultra Wheels, Magnus...and I know that steelies would be somewhat of a waste but it would get them done all at once...Silent what kind of money we looking at for both rims and tires...and im assuming the tires do fit on the rims...also silent your in Socal, im in norcal. So any ideas on how long chroming takes? or any other suggestions on how to go about this?

 

wouldnt it be cheaper and less PITA to but rims already chromed v/s getting some chromed?

 

I think its something like 60-80 a wheel for chroming, I figured 80 for two mounting and balancing so low end...320 or high end...400 vs new rims that would prolly cost minimum 200 a rim at 800 total but then sell my rims for 100 each...it would be the same, pending me selling my rims...and finding rims i like for 200 or less. I've put alot of thought into this >_< and I would need to buy rims at 285/60-18 unless I wanna get new tires as well...again - open to any suggestions or comments that might help me make a decision...

 

That doesnt sound like a lot at all to get them chromed. I thought it would cost more than that.

 

I dont think it will, pretty sure it was sumthing like that, lol definitly gotta find that out!
