sourcing chrome wheel nuts or chroming existing ones

Post by Smeeagain » Tue Dec 28, 2010 1:37 pm

Following on my various posts on wheels and tyres I want to have chrome wheel nuts (2004 E53 X5 3.0 D Sport with 19 inch alloys) - no real reason other than personal choice. I cant find any anywhere - I did see some on ebay but the had small bmw logos on the centre of the nut but I don't fancy that - all the pothers are either black or plain galvanised finish.

So....... can anyone tell em where to get chrome ones or where I could have existing ones chromed (happy to have the threads masked off just so it is the external finish that is chromed) - I've Googled chrome platers but am looking for a recommendation any of you gents or ladies may have
