Guys, I want to get some Araya 7X chromed and, yes I know, chromers are mentioned often but, I want the best chromers for the money around. I know there are a few suggestions from you Northern guys and the chromers down here are far and few between and even then, they want a new Merc price tags for doing it, so....
Who is the best and would you do me the honours of allowing me to send the rims to you to get them chromed and post them back? I would like to see the writing on the rims afterwards and there is nothing better than taking them in and telling them what you want.
Obviously, there would be a drink in it for you.
Cheers :daumenhoch:

I would be happy to take them to my chromers,they are round the corner from me but not cheap!top results though :daumenhoch:

How much is 'not cheap' Damo? ???

I couldn't tell you on rims but i paid £90 for a set of bars and £70 for 2 crank arms.The work is top notch and they don't fook you about,v.professional.Literally 5 mins round the corner means i can take stuff in and explain any special requirements.Usually about a 3 wk turnaround :daumenhoch:

Terry,
Had the rims Araya Rims done on my Cali Boulevard, however not all chromers would touch them as they are Alloy and a different Process is needed Allen Chroming in York did them for me and the finish was / is 1st class but Cost me about £100 for the pair.
