re-chrome a spoke wheel?

[lulabelle]

Sorry,it's O/T kinda.My father in law has an 80 benz that came with chrome spokes.They are in need of a facelift. Does anyone know who will do the job?Do the wheels need to be apart?Can you help me?Thanks!

JT...it's time to visit you're local aftermarket wheel vendor. You're lookin' at major bucks for that job. Disassembly, plate, reassembly...$$$$ Good luck!

If they aren't actually made by MB or Borani, just pick up a Lowrider magazine and find a dealer near you and buy some new ones.
Coil up your garden hoses on the old ones. (I have one bolted to the porch rail.)

I will have to dig around and see if I can find the name of the place I was given. I never called them but last year I had a T-bucket with Borani knock offs that were 40 plus years old. I think the spokes would have needed relaced and the hubs replated but the rims were aluminum abd still nice. I sold the car before I got that far into it.

Anyone else?I'd like to see the original wheels go back on it.

Do an online search for wire wheel repair. Tons of info.

Mercedes = $$$ cha-ching!

That thing should be rolling on DUBS like all the ballers do.
