Chrome Wheel trims
Hi Folks,
About 2 years ago I bought a set of 15" chrome effect wheel trim at a show for my Nuevo. They are now absolutely ruined with discolouration and peeling. I would like a new set for the summer, and I wonder if anyone has any experience of buying ones that are not rubbish? Anyone know anything about getting real chrome, and how it weathers?
Thanks
Peterm

Re: Chrome Wheel trims
Hi,
When the trims on our Gatcombe started to crack I replaced them with a set of " beauty rings" !
These used to be known as rimbellishers in days of yore ! Painted the steel wheels and the centre caps and fitted the 'rings. Look quite nice !
The ones I bought were from Just Kampers , 15" stainless steel.
I was going to put a pic. on but it has disappeared into the inter web void

Re: Chrome Wheel trims
I fitted a set of lacquered silver ones off ebay 3 years ago, they still look as good as new. I don't think chrome effect ones are a good idea in this situation, road salt, flexing etc.
