Check with West Coast Corvettes. They should be able to steer you to a good place.

I had my XJ8 wheels done at Mag Masters in Santa Ana. They did a great job, the chrome looks like new and it was done over 5 years ago.

called few places and turns out it takes 2-3weeks to get chromed. so as far these business that takes yur factory wheels and exhanges them for factory chrome wheels, how reliable are they?

I did the exchange route at Cici in Pomona. A one man shop that knows his business. He does not chrome them, someone else near Pomona does his work for him. Great deal on a trade...must be exact wheel for wheel: GM for GM, same style. I paid $600 out the door and he jacked up the car, took off the wheels one by one, dismounted them, remounted, balanced and put them back on, one at a time. Took an hour, and like I said, it was $600 TOTAL out the door...no credit cards! This was about 6 weeks ago now.

Yes, West Coast Corvettes in Anaheim send wheels out to get chromed, they should be able to help.

hey thats the guy on craigslist.
so are his already chromed wheels in great shape?
what im worried is that my wheels are perfect but his chromed wheels have scratchs or bent etc.

guys also for installing aftermarket interiors such as carbon fiber, navi etc, how much does installation labor go for a place like westcoast corvette?

Curt chromed a set of factory new wheels from the dealer and exchanged my wheels for them. He is also a fellow Corvette owner. I highly recommend him.

It just depends upon what you are asking them to install, I've used them a couple of times for labor and their prices were fairly reasonable, I thought. You just have to call them up and ask. Good luck!

CalChrome plated my CCW wheels that were provided "ready for plating" as opposed to fully polished. I believe the edges/corners were a little less sharp.

Quality was good, added 2 weeks and $190+/- per wheel to the purchase price, and with 2 coats of Rejex, they still look great a year later.

Cal chrome is the only place to have your wheels chromed

As others here have verified, his product is excellent. He warranties for one year also. I found no one in SoCal that could or would beat his price......if you go there, you will see why. But hey, I for one appreciate the guy that tries harder, keeps his overhead down and wants my business. He is not some smug dealer charging a big mark up. Poor bastard worked his butt off on my car...in the heat no less. Give him a try...
