Chrome Wheel Exchange - some dealers or wheel manufacturers
offer a Chrome Wheel Exchange program in which the dealer
sends you a set of chrome wheels in exchange for your old,
non-chromed wheels. Typical steps are as follows:
1 . You
order wheels and receive them (usually by courier).
2 . You
are charged for the plating and shipping (notice, not for
wheels)
3 . You
are charged a “holding fee” which is refunded
when you ship your old (non-chromed) wheels (this means
that you will also pay to ship your old wheels).
Repairing or Chrome-plating
Old Wheels - Tarnished, scratched, rusted, or slightly
warped wheels can be repaired at a substantial savings over
new wheels. Quality refurbishing dealers will reset to true
and then strip and polish the old wheel prior to a multi-step
chroming process. Refurbished wheels should look and ride
like new wheels and have a finish of comparable lasting quality.
Lug Nuts and Valve
Stems - especially for exchanged wheels, ask about
matching lug nuts – you don’t
want your new shiny chrome wheels fastened to your shiny car
with your rusty “old lug nuts”. Ditto for new
valve stems.
Warranties are dealer specific, so first
check their websites to find out about dealer warranties and
return policies. |
