Anyone know if there is a shop that does wheel chroming? Looking for something local (Milwaukee area) Thanks for any heads up.

I took my motorcycle rims in to be chromed at Badger Plating in South Milwaukee on Kinnikinnic Ave

Have any idea what they would charge to do car rims?

Badger is located at the St. Francis and Cudahy boarder just off of Howard.

just to let you know

[u_say_go]

from personal experience, DO NOT go to Badger!
that is all...

Badger wouldn't be my first choice, or a choice at all.....

I would check with southwest plating in new berlin.

Jack strunze is the owner and does fabulous work, In fact he does alot of chroming for harley.

Thats an awful lot of chroming. That can't be possible.

I would guess he is a harley job shop .... one of many....

What about Keystone on the north side? Are they still around? Had some bumpers done there and they turned out geat.

u sure about that?
the ONLY chrome harley uses is hexavalent chrome(the whiter chrome). to the best of my knowledge,there are no chromers in this area that use that process (EPA SUCKS THE BALLS)

actually there are several platers in the area using hex 8 chrome they have to treat their waste extensively and reduce it to hex 5 iirc from my solids treatment class. But you are correct the stuff is nasty and a horror if leached into the environment.

You could give reliable plating works "RPW" a call they are on south 6th by LaPerla and on south 13th oh yea they do plating for Harley as well.

Alot of these plating places just dont take work off the streets either, some will tho.

Where I work all our Harley chrome needs are done in Rock Island Illinois or Lincoln Nebraska, I think Harley is the pickiest decorative chrome customer out there.

that is a fact.
i would hate to be a chromer getting beat up by harley corporate for quality and price at the same time

Ron,

I am sure of what is being done at southwest plating, and alot of harley parts are done at that very place!!!!!

Harley Chrome always looks good. Thats one of few things they have going for them

Does anyone know where I can get a set of wheels BLACK CHROME? I think it is a similar process, but I'm not sure.
