Hmm... The cost of getting them chromed would be almost as much as getting new rims... I know of a place here in Southern California that will swap stocks for chromes for $500 (installed).
They have to be the exact same rims and same size; I guess they then take your old rims and chrome them and sell them to the next guy... Maybe there is a place like this somewhere close to you...?

who the hell told you that you would pay 5k for some damn dubz ?
personally i would just keep the wheels you have the same, and save up your dough to get some 18, you will only need to save about 1500.
tho money that you would have to pay to get them dipped will almost have you half way on the price you will need for some new rims, not to mention that most places take like a couple of weeks dip your whels and then give them back to you so you still will have to buy another set of wheels to have on your car while you are getting the other ones done.
and i am sure that most rim shops finance rims also, so if your credit is not to bad then you can have some for like 1oo bucks a month, if you really just want some wheels.
but i recomend just waiting and saving, thats always the best method.

one of the online retailers has to ship to canada...those are ridiculous prices he is quoting you unless they are top of the line rims. you should be able to get a decent set of 18s for ~$1200Jus' Trepping said:

Someone told me there's a place in Victoria that does chroming and custom wheel work, but I hear they are expensive.
