Has anyone ever done a chrome wheel exchange?

[BigBuck]

Like the title says, anyone ever sent there wheels in for a swap with chrome ones? Looks like there are a handful of places that do this.

I just purchased new wheels for my Honda.

The shop I dealt with uses PVD chrome plating, instead of traditional chrome. It's just a modified powder coat that holds up better than real chrome.

I am a chemist in the plating industry. what type of chrome plating are they providing? Micro-cracked?

From what I've read on, extensively, unless there was a real reason to go with REAL chrome plating, I'd stick with PVD Chrome.

I used a company called Detroit Wheel and Tire. They have a big Ebay store as well. They do wheel exchanges there.
