Along with my TC in-a-box, came four wire wheels. Once chromed, the chrome is now chipping and rusting. Given the cost of new 19" wire wheels, I'm wondering if these can be salvaged. No spokes are b

I do not think rechorming would be very good. Dayton only uses stainless on the spokes due to the embrittling of the chroming process. I cant see the spokes but I cant imagine they could not be just

What are the rims and hubs like, condition-wise? I don't think stripping and rechroming of spokes is a good idea, let alone worth it. I can get MGB wheels respoked for about half the cost of replacem

Hi paul You may have a point. it is $400.00 + per wheel for painted wheels. I don't want to rechrome. just strip them and paint them silver. Hubs are worn, too. They cost a lot, last time I checked.

The only way I know to get chrome off is to take it to a chrome plating shop and let them strip it. I have had a bunch of Harley parts stripped by a local shop, it isn't that expensive to have done..

It would probably take an electrolytic process to remove the chrome entirely. I can't imagine that this would be cost-effective vs readily-available replacement wheels. Maybe for custom odd-size whee
