Again what Dave said  :daumenhoch:

But check with the chromers first as some won't touch aluminium  :daumenhoch:
I might actually build a bike this year instead of just hoarding parts :)

If the rims are Hoffman Gack mid-school rims, they're identical to the Hoffman Generator 48's that they still made up to a couple of years ago (apart from the decals). Give BMX City or the like a ring, and you should be able to pick up a set of 48's for around £30 (waaay cheaper than a strip/re-chrome).
