Question ***** Shiny Chrome Exchange

Thinking of sending in my wheels to have them Chromed at ***** Shiny in California. Has anyone tried this company before? www.willyshiny.com.

Another good place is called "Wheels to N V" located here in Columbus Ohio. You can either send them your wheels and they will send you a chromed set or you pay a little more and have yours chromed. They do like a 4 layer chrome.

They're pretty close to me. If they don't do you well let me know and I'll go talk with them. Might go by
late tomorow just to see them.

Just looked up the address and it's a house. Somebody's running a business from home. Wonder where the chrome is done?

You might want to call before you have anything done to get a feel for who you're dealing with.

I've bought a lot of stuff from this guy and have never been disappointed. Quick turn around.

Thanks everyone. Appreciate the info. I'm going to do a little more shopping around before I decide although it sounds like *****'s is ok. Kind of weird he has the business in his house. I didn't know there were other places that would do the exchange so I'm gonna check them out.

not necessarily, his home just may be where he does the 'business' end of the business, ie. gets mail, pays suppliers, receives/processes orders etc., while he does the actual 'dirty' work elsewhere....
