Default Chrome plater recommendation please

I am looking to re-chrome the 912 wheels. Does anyone have any experience with The Plating House in Concord?
Or perhaps recommend someone else?

TIA
Stan

I'm considering refinishing my spare wheels and have done a bit of digging. I'm probably going to go with a hypersilver instead of a chrome but a few of the companies on the list below apparently do both. I don't have any experience with any of these yet although I have read several good reviews of Carcone.

Mayfair Plating on Carlaw Ave. http://mayfairplating.com/home.html

I've used them many times for restoring nickel and chrome fixtures in our home, but they do lots of automotive stuff as well.

FYI. I've read a few negative reviews about Fireball coatings both on rennlist and elsewhere. But in the process I found another company in Brampton that has at least a few good reviews.

I've visited The Plating House today. They do not do wheels.
I will check out the others tomorrow

Thanks for replies, guys
