I have been looking at having a set of stock 18's black chromed but am having difficulty finding a good place to have it done.

I too would be interested in getting my stock wheels chromed, the dealership where I bought my car had an 8 with chrome wheels. Anyone know how much this would cost?

having a rim dipped in chrome is expensive and takes a long time also.

It should cost around 150 to 200 per rim

why not have a place just take off the paint and polish the wheel? Maybe even put a clear coat...Chrome dipped wheels are always heavier. powder coating would be one of my choices if it does not add more weight.

What I want to know is WHERE can I get this done? Paint shops? Powder coating shops? :)

pretty much any wheelshop will be able to do it. but they will need the wheels for at least a day.
