Ok chaps, here are some before and after pics. I've given each one a proper inspection, and to be fair, I don't think i could have expected any better.  There are a few minor blemishes that can still be seen on the worst rims and hubs, but the others look pretty much new:

These were the worst hubs, lots of nasty scrapes and pitting:




These were the good ones:




These were the worst rims before:



And the four rims after:




Not a bad result, i'm sure you'll agree.  They stated that they couldn't guarantee their work or how well they would last, because chroming aluminium is a tricky process, as the chrome and the alloy react as the alloy oxidises.  Time will tell.

I paid £30 a rim and about £12 a hub plus VAT. :daumenhoch:
