restoration isn't the word. The chrome is shot, unless the pictures are showing me something im not seeing. Those need to be stripped and rechromed, powdercoated, or painted. Alot of $$ to restore them the right way.

I think I paid about $60 per hoop on one of my 22" 3pc wheels to have them stripped and then another $70 to coat them... each. Now if you're stripping an entire wheel, you are talking a much higher price.

Yeah what I'm afraid of I'm going to hit it with grime reaper a couple times then clay them and polish them and see how they come out I don't need them to be brand new chrome because these are winter wheels and meant for abuse but hopefully they come out atleast a little better my mom already has to buy new winter tires for them so still need to do that before getting anything dipped
