Default Place to get wheels polished

I was wondering if anyone has had any first hand experience with any polishing shops in the 757. I am looking for a good honest shop that can do some wheels I have. Thanks.

You + garage + aircraft stripper if they're painted + mother's polish = done deal

Realistically though, maybe try looking for motorcycle shops, they love polishing and chroming parts.

I looked around for polishing service about a year ago and didn't have much success. One shop in Norfolk wanted $500 to polish a friggin intake plenum.

If you ever polished anything, you would understand why it cost so much. Just polish it yourself.

i was thinking about getting my rials stripped and fully polished. I live in an apartment which really isn't conducive to this kind of work. If you find a place let me know.

Anyone have a rough estimate on how much it would be to get wheels done and where?

Everyone wants to know the answer to the question "Where"
I know some machine shops around here have the equipment to hadle this sort of job but they are going to charge an arm and a leg. I think one quoted me $800 for all four wheels. I would be game if it was $400. Oh well.

Start searching yourself and give those places a call. Obviously nobody here has a good experience with it.
