Nope but I knew a girl that could suck the chrome off of them and she'd do it for free!

Sorry can't help ya. Don't know of anyone out there that far.

There is a guy that does chroming near Telephone and 610.... I was going to chrome a few things on my bike and the guys at Stubbs told me he is the best. I'll see if I can find the name this week. You'll have to call him to see if he does wheels.

Ok, I would appreciate that information. I also found this listing on ebay.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=43958

After contacting them, they say that I could purchase their wheels for 999.00 where they will ship them to me with a return shipping label. I mount them and send mine back to them and they complete the transaction by sending me a check for 200 dollars. Does this sound like a fair price? So im looking at 799 for the chrome rims.

Call your RX8 dealer...I checked with mine in College Station and found out it would be about $600 for all 4 rims. Not sure if that is good or bad, but he knew who to call.

I contacted my dealer (Jay Marks Mazda) in Houston early on in my ownership of the 8, and I dont remember the exact price, but I do remember it was an outrageous amount. At the time I just decided to go aftermarket. 600 isnt bad though, if thats what it really is. Thanks, Ill check into it.

Call this guy..... Speed and Sport Chrome Plating 404 Broadway 713-921-0235
I've heard from several people that he is the best in town. Not sure about his prices though... He is not the cheapest but you dont want your chrome flaking off in 6 months either. -T
