Anyone done a chrome wheel exchange?

Posted this over on the wheels forum, but figured Id post it here too, since this is where we go.

Just curious if anyones done a chrome wheel exchange before? Seems like a pretty cost effective way to get real Mercedes wheels in chrome. Cant have the downtime of doing mine, otherwise I would. So ya, any reccomendations would be great. Thanks!

LA Wheel has an exchange on E-Bay. I did there program on my Toyota Tundra. VERY Pleased. They did a great job packing the wheels. The Chrome job was almost flawless.

If you want call and speak to ANN Ngo, tell her Scott and Bridgett from Bowling Green, KY sent you and said you would give him a deal. Her Number is 714-940-1761.

3 year warranty.. I have never had any problems from any of my sets.

Very cool, thanks for the great info guys! Im in the process of trying to hunt down my same wheels with one of those and a few other companies.

Agreed with traumadoc- I want the OEs so they balance perfect with my car.

Okay, I just got turned onto these wheels plated by California Chrome. They call it black chrome, and I guess its a mix of chroming, powder coating, and some kind of clear. Never seen anything quite like that before. I havent contacted them to see about the CLS wheels yet, but Im starting to think this is the way to go.
