You won't be able to plate rims, they're too big.

For the other stuff, use our Triple Chrome Plating kit - http://www.caswellplating.com/triple.htm

Default Re: chroming rims

I didn't mean they couldn't be plated, I meant that it wasn't practical to plate them using our kits.

Even half a rim would need a couple of hundred amps of power and a very large amount (30 Gallons or so) of solution to plate.

Better to leave bumpers and rims to the plating shops and concentrate on the smaller items.
