It would be cheaper to get a set of ZR1s off ebay. I paid $550 for a set about a year ago. Chrome with caps and lug nuts and locks.

it's cheaper to get new wheels. There are only a handful of good chrome shops left, and they know what their service is worth. Just please don't get zr1's

2Poor4Z is an unknown quantity at this point
honestly i kinda disagree.. but then again i have conections with chroming parts.. but with the flat 5 spoke standard camaro rims.. itll prob run you anywhere from $350 on up if i remmeber right.. all the cost is in the prep work and polishing not the actual chrome dippping.. and those rims dont have many small crevices that would be to hard to polish..

i had my kicker kx600.1 amp shroud chromed and it costed me $150 but it also has lots of grills and lil small crevices and such so it was expensive

who did it? I have only found one place in the entire country that does real show quality work, and they are in TN, the others do oem at best (which is horrible)
