cl77 rims

Post by toolie » Tue Nov 03, 2009 9:27 pm

I would like to re-chrome or replace my 67 cl77 rims, any suggestions . Chromers in my area say they can't get down in the valley of the rim, to clean up the pitting and polish. Are there any after market clones?

Just bought some on eBay so they do come up. Where are you based?

An alternative would be flanged alloy rims. You can get them anodised if you like the finish.

Platers for wheels

Post by davondle » Sun Nov 08, 2009 10:54 am

Ran into the same problem. Has to do with the placement of the electrodes in the plating process and most platers cannot get them placed such that the plating will get into the valleys of the rims. Found a plater north of Dayton, Ohio that believes that he can do the rims. Am going to try him. Have seen his work on some other parts and he produces outstanding quality. Taking a bunch of stuff to him over the next few weeks. If it works, I will post his information.
