Where to de-Chrome ?
Anyone have any experience with local de-chroming companies? I've a set of 19" wheels that came with chrome lips which is peeling, and I just needa get the chrome off. Any help would be nice !

Yes, I'd tried ublast and the chrome won't come off.

What material did you sandblast it with, and do you have any pictures of the area you tried to blast?

+1 for Altech.

I inquired about getting a set of wheels anodized recently and the guy I talked to was super cool and very informative offering many different stripping methods. He is actually an old school Honda guy who moved into VW's and curses the day he did. LOL!!

I used panthers, but I believe they sent it out to a different company.
