I was wondering this too, but for Pro Class Rims.... i have a couple sets I would like chromed ideally, but polished if not...

I was speaking to Danlightning about chromers last month he said there was a real good one near him , think it was R&S Electroplating Manchester that do alloy real well... have to look inito it

Why is it they (platers in general) dont like doing alloys then?

The two chromers I asked in the UK last year both said it was mainly down to two things, firstly the amount of prep needed to get a good even finish and secondly the risk of the chrome not adherring to the alloy. They also said that H&S was a factor too but given the chemicals they deal with it's negligible
