Default who chrome-plates aluminum wheels?????

I had a source near Washington D.C., but I fear they went belly-up, as their phone number is no-longer in-service:
I have a set of aluminum C3 wheels that I'd like to have chrome-plated, if any Forum-member knows who'll perform this task.

Yo Glen...

West Coast Corvettes, or www.chromeyourwheels.com, or Wheel Collision in Bath PA, but they send them out to the west coast.

Thanks, Ellis..... I 'had' a place in D.C. that did a set @ $135/each, but they won't answer the phone, and I fear they've gone belly-up.....


I'm sending another pair to California to be narrowed before having the entire set of 4 chrome-plated, and the same place will chrome them, too, although they want $225/each


Unless I can find another East Coast place with better prices, I might-as-well send all 4 to the Left Coast, and save on the shipping-fees.

Not sure, but I thought "all" chrome plating of rims had to be done in California..
