No-one that I\'ve been able to find either. Pineapple racing mention that there\'s a place in the states that does it, but they didn\'t seem to think it was very satisfactory. It\'s a pain, I know - new ones are damn expensive!

There was a company on rx7club that was able to do it but it basically cost as much as a new housing. There are a few companies that sell 2nd hand stuff but why scrimp on housings if they last 5 mins afterwards.

I know that Wicked Wheels in Guildford can chrome wheels, might be worth having a call to them to see if you can get the contact and ask about chroming this instead of wheels?!!?

JHB performance in Canada recoat them with a ceramic coating,which is useless,it comes off,and are far from factory tolerances once done.Good money making exercise for them though.
