Hey all...
Has anyone of you ever fixed a peeled-off chrome lip of your wheels?
The chrome lip on my wheels are peeling off .. more and more. This is chrome, not high-polished so it peels off rather easily.
One solution that I have so far is to get someone to peel the whole thing off and then high-polish it. But unfortunately, one of the best wheel shops in my area has refused to do it because he can't guarantee that the result would be good.
So.. if you guys know anything about this, please share!! Appreciate it guys, thanks!

when chrome is peeled off from the wheel therse nothing you can you. Most manufactures have 1 year warrenty on chromes so if it is not that old contact where you bought. Or you have to re dip wheels. I dont recommand high polish it . It wont be as same as others. It will not have that chrome effect.
