Hi!
You can't get true chrome plated center caps yet, in most cases the plastic will not hold up to the plating process, plus you will have fun getting the hot glued SVT center logo off the cap.. You can get vacuum plated chrome caps at the Tire Rack, they don't look too bad and go for about $35 a piece. You could just buy the wheels and caps from them too. Give them a call and check it out. Hey I go to the same plater that they use, Plate Corp. in Calif. and they do a real nice job.
