I am looking at gettin' myself a set of chrome rims before this summer and have been doing a lot of research and checking out the different sellers. Here is who I have found and what I have found out about them.

http://www.aaarims.com

I have only heard good things about AAA, but they are unfortunately the most expensive. They want $1600 for a set of 4, and $800 if you use their exchange program. You will pay all shipping.

http://www.capitalwheels.com

These guys I have also only heard good things about them. They seem to be very strict on their warranty, like if you drive the rims once in the snow then it is voided. I was quoted $600 plus return shipping for an exchange, and that included the center caps. I live in Alaska, so it may be cheaper for the lower 48 states because of shipping.

http://santaanawheel.com

A lot of people have gone with Santa Ana, because they are the cheapest. I started a post a few weeks back about Santa Ana and got a lot of negative replies. Poor plating, bad customer service, etc. I also got a lot of good replies, but is paying the lowest price on chrome rims worth a crappy job? In my opinion, I would rather pay more and have a quality chrome job.

Before you go with one of these guys, I would open up the yellow pages and look for a chromer locally. I tried that first, but there are none in Alaska, so I am stuck with paying the shipping. Hope this helps.

I know that capital wheel has the 2001 rims in stock, but I am not sure if they are already chromed. I emailed them a few days back requesting info on the '01 wheel and this is what they said,

"We own a few sets of 2001 wheels they sell as soon as they come out of chrome . s/h plus insurance will be at least $35 or more dollars per wheel hard to say without boxing them up we get really good rates from ups and fed ex"
