Advise needed please
Ok so I'm about to pull apart my standard set of Rm's ,
I have the new lips ( on order ) and I would like to get the wheels to match the nice new shine ,
So could anybody point me in the right direction,
Do I need to polish them up ? Or get the powder coated ? Just sprayed up ?
I'm thinking chrome plate will cost a small fourtune,
Any advise would be great thanks..

What part of the wheels? I assume you mean the centres not the barrels?
If you want them shiny (metal finish) then you need them polished. Ceramic polishing would be best as it's very time consuming to hand polish centres.
You could have the chrome powder coated. Much easier to keep in good condition that way. This would be my choice.
Doubt anyone would chrome plate them. It's just not a viable option now days.

You have many option with splits. You can have the centre barrel painted to match the car. Best option would be to have them powder coated in colour of your choice. Something different rather than just silver! You can now get shadow chrome powder coating so me need to pay way over the top for chroming.
Only advice if getting them powder coated is the make sure they done coat the lip that the outer lip bolts onto and make sure they plug the holes from behind to save the coating filling the holes. Just google rm's and you will see what can be done with them.
