I have the five spoke (Camille Gotti) wheels on the Griff. One of them is starting to be in need to a refurbish and I'm thinking abount having all of them chromed. Anyone done the same, if so, got in pics ?

Anyone know of a good Essex place I can get them done ?

Is this an Essex thing? Chrome? Don't do it!

My understadning is that you can only chrome new ali. Once it's old, it gains impurities so it can no longer be plated.

I reckon they would look good in a Black Chrome powdercoating......

Hmmmm, I've seen some in Chrome and they looked Ok to me but I think I get the point, a straight refurb it is then.... should look OK once I get the neons on.

I can see I'm gonna struggle to live down this little posting. Still back on a serious note, I can either refurb the ones I have or go for replacement (being 4 stud). If anyone has updated 4 stud on a Griff I'd be interested in what you went for and how they look.

There is a chrome effect paint, so if you are determined you could get the blink look!
