You mean like have them rechromed or replated?
It will cost you about 50bux per wheel, not sure where though. Someone should be able to help you out much better then i can

One of my mates did it himself, he just got a little bit of bog, sanded it down and then got someone to touch up the paint, he didn't have chrome wheels so I'm not sure if this could be done with chrome wheels, I guess it could be done.

Yeah can be done yourself if its not too bad. I had a rim on one of my old cars that had a real big chunk out of it. I took it to Ambula Engineering in Brookvale & they welded up the chunk & then machined the egde back all nice like. Cost me about $120 from memory
