I'll try to answer everyones Q's. The chroming is the same way they chrome the wheels for the smaller scale cars. The wheels will be available through Todd. The plating will not be on the mounting surface of the wheel. I have not weighed the wheels with the chrome versus the wheels without it but I am sure there is not much added weight.
How this came about was. I wanted a set of chrome wheels for a Oswego style super modified I am building. I wanted to drive it but all I have is a set of aluminum centerline wheels. I did'nt want to tear up my nice wheels. Since no one offers wheels in chrome I decided to find someone that can chrome plastics. He is a very respected manufacturer in the hobby. He said he would help out as best he could and he delivered on that promise. So now that we have seen what they look like I am going to hook him up with Todd so that they can work out the details. Then when you order tires Todd can ask you If you want black or chrome.

I just wanted people to have an option.
So keep coming with the feedback because that is what Todd is going to be looking at when the time comes. If there is no interest then there is no reason for him to mess with it.
