69 DIRTY RAT:
In my opinion no one in OZ can do chrome like the US! Can you claim on insurance and get a new set sent over? Did you get there license plate?

Shane Finn:
Licence plate - no we both just kept driving (though I was swearing as well). I didn't notice the damage until I got home.

Re chroming, a mate who restores motorcycles has used this mob for many years:

Blu-Chrome Pty Ltd
137 Eldridge Rd Bankstown NSW
9790 6834

Shane Finn:
I have found one restorer in SA (www.aclassmetal.com.au) that can both repair wheels and re-chrome most types of alloy wheels up to and including at least 18in. They may go bigger but I didn't ask.

I was quoted $320 ea+GST. ;30

I spoke to Morton and May and they advise that having extensively enquired around the industry no-one else does alloy chroming and that until recently neither did A Class Metal and that they didn't know that A Class now chromed alloy. Apparently M&M turn away about 40 enquiries a week for re-chroming alloy wheels.

69 DIRTY RAT:
It sounds expensive but is actually cheap! I had one of my wheels repaired and polished for $300! So to get it chromed as well...its not to bad!
