Does anyone know where to get a set of ML Wheels rechromed in the San Jose/San Franciso bay area

I Would have the Rims Polished and clear coated and NOT Rechromed...

Mercedes has a TSB MBNA 40/18 that was sent to ALL Mercedes Benz dealers..NOT to chrome plate ANY Wheels..

When Chrome Plating an MB light alloy wheel, The Wheel must first be Anodized..(COPPER PLATED) The Difference in EMF Electro motive Force values between copper and Aluminum results in electrolyic corrosion with aluminum being the sacrificial metal.this WILL result in WEAKING of the base metal as well as poor adhesion of the subsequent plating and thereby premature flaking of the chrome finish...
