99RegalGS Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 My new Regal is my frst car with chrome wheels and I LOVE them. Soooo shiney. Though I didn't know how bad salt is for chrome wheels. I guess I'm lucky that mine are still in really good shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Shawn #1 is right, if you are going to have chrome rims, they will be triple plated/dipped ...... Shawn #2....those look like they are in good shape for being 7 years old !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2CUTTYS Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 i am going by what i was told and i trust them. plus i have seen many factory chromed wheels that are flaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 They make flake if not properly cared for, but triple chrome plating is the only way to get a REAL chrome finish. Painted chrome (I'm guessing some kind of "mirrachrome" type paint) looks a lot more like polished aluminum than real chrome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
