Hey Jerry, info on chrome!

I talked to my friend, who owns the wheel shop, Turns out, they don't do that there. They send their customers to another shop in Bloomington, CA. I drove to the shop and they charge $65 a wheel, and they do your own wheels, not exhange. It comes with a one year warranty. I looked at some of their wheels and they look great. My friend told me they do good work there, however, they take about two weeks to complete. So, let me know if you're interested and good luck!

- Hey Jerry, info on chrome!

I'm not sure I understand your question. The Fontana Polishing & Plating is in Bloomington, that is the shop that chromes. I don't know why they just don't call it Bloomington Polishing & Plating. It doesn't make sense to me. I hope that answers your question.

Just dropped off my wheels there today. They are backlogged somewhat so they say it will take 3 weeks. I will try to have them for next meet.

Hey Jerry, info on chrome!

Great!!

I'll be looking forward to seeing them.

I have to sell my chrome Z350 wheels to get the money to get my Z32 wheels done. :unsure:

You'll have to post pics when you get them back.

Well just an update. My wheels are two weeks over due so I called them up and asked what the deal was. They said they had lost one of my wheels. So I gave them until Monday to find it. I hope they find it otherwise I'm gonna sick Rick all over them.

Man, that sucks that they lost a wheel. How the hell do you do that?

Keep us posted.

Don't worry - nobody is going to hold anything against you.

Gerry is going to give them a chance to find the wheel. Maybe the chrome job will be worth it.

How the heck do you loose a WHEEL??????? :puzzled:

17-20lbs of metal doesn't tend to disappear. Sorry to hear Gerry and I hope you don't have to send the rickster on them. No one deserves that. Lol. :grin:

Yahooo! They found it. Not sure how they misplaced it but judging by the size of their operation, I could see how it coud be done. I guess they process large batches of wheels for tire shops and they simply put one of my wheels on the wrong pallet. Omar, no need to apologize. No one can control human error and I would never hold you against it.

BTW. The wheels look awesome. I still don't have tires on there but I will bring them to the meet. Kind of regretting not getting all 4 done but the front ones are a 8/10 already.

For those that are planning to use these guys in the future, I recommend that you make sure that your wheels are marked on the inside with your invoice # and validate that the #'s match.

See you guys later. :)

Hey Jerry, info on chrome!

Gerry,

Very glad they found your wheel. :yelclap:

Thanks for bringing it to the club meet Thurs night.

The wheel really looks great :tumble:

I gotta clean up my chrome Z350 wheels and get them sold so I can get my 90TT wheels chromed.
