Ive seen a lot of threads on here recently about people "chroming" their wheels, with like a solid paint in the center...

Well my wheels are realy realy pitted and permanently crapped up. No amount of cleaning can make them nice again, so was thinking of powdercoating them...

But then it occured to me that it would be hard to keep them white as white with all the riding i do... so then i thought - Why not get them half chromed?

Would be easier to keep shiney than white, wouldnt look bad, like black powdercoating would...

Anyone have any ideas on prices? Where to get it done? etc?

White is a mare to keep clean and polished is worse as you will get water marks, especially if you ride all year. Do them black.
