Chroming SUV rims

I am looking for a chroming industry in the state of Maryland. I am interested in getting SUV rims redone in the chrome look without paying the new chrome rim prices. Looking to have my own rims dipped.

Bad news, Antonio. Having something custom plated is worth doing if the item is an heirloom, of extraordinary quality, or of sentimental value. But having something custom plated in order to save money usually won't work. The original equipment manufacturer uses tooling that is custom made to efficiently electroplate specific items in high volume at very low unit labor cost. Custom plating one set of wheels involves an awful lot of labor and it could easily cost more than a set of new wheels. Sorry.
