I'm seriousely considering having my wheels chromed, what do you guys/girls think? Can aluminum wheels even be chromed or not? I've already replaced the black step bars with chrome and and added dual exhaust with chrome tips. These wheels are a major PIA to keep clean I think chrome would be easier.

For what you will spend to have your wheels chromed you would probably be better off to just buy new rims. I have seen alot of deals on 18" chrome rims for our trucks.

Trev, those arn't stock wheels!

 

I agree, you would still probably be better off to sell those and buy some new chrome wheels.

 

It would cost me at least $800.00 to buy new wheels. Is it really that expensive to have wheels chromed over?

Yes, there was a guy on here that had his stockers chromed and it cost well over $600.00. I agree that if you like chrome sell your wheels and buy some new ones. If you really like your wheel style, sell yours and buy the chrome ones from MB.

 

Leave them alone they KICK as they are!

 

I also think they look much better polished they way they are. They might be harder to clean now, but they have a much more rugged look and less bling which is a good thing IMO. Never been a fan of chrome wheels.

 

geez! I can't believe it costs that much to have them chromed. I guess I will live with them as they are.

Thanks for your thoughts -1 for spelling

I'm not too big on chrome myself. There was a thread where a guy chromed his stockers on his Lariat Screw if I remember right, and they looked alright.
