I would like to know if anyone knows a place where I can get the factory rims on my 92 sc polished or chromed. Thought of aftermarket rims but I saw some pictures of polished or chromed factory rims and thought they were cool. Maybe if someone knows where they may have an idea of the cost too.
Thanks,

I'm still toying with that myself and now I have a set of extra rims I did contact a place in Cambridge that said depending on what the wheel looked like if I brought him the rims with the powder coat removed he would polish them for 50-80 bucks a wheel.
I saw a set in Carlisle this year that were chromed and looked very nice but in a few spots the chrome was bubbling and peeling:(

There must be a place closer to you, but there is a place in Orillia called The Wheel Place. Cost for polishing is around $600-800 with the powder coating and depending on condition of rims. Polished rims look great but don't forget that they are a lot of work. I have to polish mine once a week to keep looking great. I have an electric buffer for them now so it isn't so bad. If you want any other information on that place let me know, they had originally done my rims.

the guy in Caledonia did my f-150 rims and did a good job. He advertises in the triads..... look for Kool Wheels. I'm aking one of my sets in for him to polish. He also is polishing a set of 15" ford bronco 2 wheels for me to use on my car trailer

If you don't mind me asking, what did it end up costing you for the F-150 rims?
