John and the techs at Cal Chrome took on the task of repairing my chipped 23 year old wheel caps. I had reservations. I just picked up the caps after repairs and chroming. They look better than the day I bought the rims 23 years ago. The process took a little time but it turned out well worth it. Mirrors finish on the caps. Highly recommend them and will look forward to using them in the future.

I had four wheels partially powder coated and partially painted. I explained to John what I wanted to accomplish and with his suggestions I am 120% satisfied with the results. Not only did he make great suggestions, but he made a few samples of colors for me to choose from. The detail to his work is second to none. Last, but not least, he is a “good guy” to work with.

2nd set of wheels they did for me they turned out EXCELLENT!!! Highly recommended I have a 2023,2024? ZO6 Corvette on order going to have them wheels done also.

I don’t normally write reviews but I was so impressed with CalChrome I wanted to share my experience. John the owner is great. The service he provides is what we need more of these days. John and his team took the time to go through the detail to measure my car both front and back to see what size rims would fit. John and his team provided the white glove treatment. It takes a lot to impress me but John certainly did! I chose Schott wheels and John worked with the rep from Schott to coordinate all measurements. John and his team picked up the wheels from Schott when they were done and came to my house to try them on to ensure they fit correctly. John’s team is awesome. Nick treated my 57 chevy like it was a top notch car. Very meticulous when mounting the wheels! The outcome was exactly what I wanted. John, Nick and team, Thank you!!!!!

I sent my rims to to Cal Chrome all the way from Illinois. When I got my rims back I could not believe how good they looked. Originally they were powder coated I had CalChrome Chrome them and they look just amazing totally changes the appearance of my bike. Their level of quality was amazing. Highly recommend them . Thank you Bob and everyone at CalChrome.

I want to especially think Bob, Kelly and John. I’m probably one of the most difficult customer, they’ve come across yes laugh. The process did take a great deal but overall I’m super satisfied with the results of the rim and the caliper. And yes a little pricey but In order to get excellent quality you gotta pay the costs 2 be the boss. Your company is appreciated and I recommend them 1000%

I would like to take this opportunity and say THANK YOU for the work you’ve done. My Mercedes wheels look great, after receiving them back, I took my time replacing the tires and balancing them. After putting the wheels and tires back on to the vehicle! what an outstanding job you guys have done. Maybe I am too old school or maybe it’s just such a great job, but looking at this vehicle, I need my chrome wheels. It’s only a shame you guys are located all the way in California, but nevertheless all my references go to CalChorme.

Five (5) stars is not enough

Wheels came back yesterday via FedEX and their return packaging was over the top. The wheel centers were separated to facilitate show chroming. After the centers were welded back into the hoops, the backspace was dead on! Their communication was always same day or next morning and included progress pics. Hard to get customer service like this anywhere.

5 Star burliness that promised to get me out of a jam and delivered.

I had these wheels at another wheel restorer. This other shop in southern Cal took my 3K and shipped back to me all the wheels with the wrong back space!

The wheels were shipped back to them to fix that critical problem. At first they suggested I just run wheel spacers. Then they chucked up the wheels and put 1/4″ wide chips to the copper on each wheel lip as they chucked each wheel into their lathe. Sent them all back 2nd time to re-chrome again and fix this atrocity. Third time they just dipped them without stripping or separating out the centers. They were terrible. Because I was an out of state customer they were able to cheat me out of 3k. I felt lucky just to get these rare Hertz Shelby back into my possession so I cut my losses.

John and Kelly at CalChrome knew what I had been thru as an out of state customer and they took care of me as promised.

Thx to them and all the gang at CalChrome.

The whole team from the start we’re great too deal with. John, Kelly and the crew were very organized and efficient. Excellent customer service and my cobra heat shields in obsidian black look absolutely fantastic. 2 thumbs up too the guys/gals on the floor as well. great work cal chrome team!!

Time estimate was accurate, Workmanship was on point, shipping and boxing of my wheels was top shelf as well. It couldnt have been more accurate.

As a Washington State resident, I was a bit apprehensive to send my wheels out of state, to a company I had only researched on the internet, for repairs and re-chroming. My wheels would not hold air for more than 48 hours due to corrosion. It turns out that I had nothing to be worried about!

Everyone I communicated with at CalChrome was incredible!!

I also want to extend a huge ‘Thank You’ to those of you that were hands-on and had the Technical & Physical skills to pull this all together!

The process was flawless, personal and professional. I received my ‘new’ wheels & new tires, fully assembled and carefully packaged.

Everything considered, the price CalChrome charges, in my opinion, is incredibly low. It is quite a process and a lot of people are involved.

My gratitude is immense! Thank You for bringing my old NSX girl back to life! 🙂

Needed my crusty old Momo Arrows stripped and replated, they look better than new!!!

For those who know this car, know the wheels are its least popular part. Well, with advice from John and Kelly, we went with black chrome as a perfect contrast on my white vehicle with grey interior, and also black chromed all the emblems and created special custom center caps. The result was amazing, and as my daily driver, I get crazy comments everywhere I go. I’m afraid the car, or at least these wheels, will get stolen, so I keep a close eye out and enjoy every minute for sure!

I shipped my wheel out from Minnesota and when I got it back, I was very impressed with the outcome! Thank you CalChrome! I’m recommending this place to all of my connections!

Hi John,

Thank You and Rene for the great work you did on my tank. Thank you for taking your time and doing it right, after-all.. it’s the money shot! I can’t wait to see it. I will spread the word of your superb work! So nice to meet you! Thank You!

Chrome came out awesome, and now the decals have been added, and the car reassembled. I have a photo of the finished diecast, and the actual car it was patterned after.

Thanks again for the phenomenal work.

My name is David I own the black Audi R8 and the brake caliper section these guys are the greatest very professional and what they do I would recommend all my friends and everyone searching to go see Bob at Cal Chrome number one in the world for all vehicles.

John and crew sanded and powder coated the cage for my Polaris RZR and did an amazing job. The color match with the machine is spot on and the work is great! Turn around time was two days. I would highly recommend CalChrome for your powder coat needs.

Everybody was asking about the wheels. Even some bloggers asked about them after they were posted on my social media. The wait was frustrating but the finished product washed all of the frustration away at one glimpse of the wheels. Everyone was mesmerized by the way the pinstripe was done. The wheels really took her from being beautiful to being amazing!

I bought Methods with General Grabbers for my new Ram 2500 from Tirerack.com. Ever since I installed the wheels I’ve been experiencing a ton of vibrations. I talked to Tirerack & they gave me the “we use the best equipment & have the best techs” response so that it’s likely another issue & not balancing. I’ve been chasing so many potential problems to see if I could solve the vibrations. After weeks of nothing fixing it, I finally decided to seek out a shop with the best equipment & techs to check out my issue. I did some research & found Calchromewheel . I went in today full well expecting they’d check my tire balance & tell me it is perfectly fine the way it came from Tirerack. But lo & behold the balance was quite a bit off. In fact, some of the tires balanced better without weights than with the weights tirerack installed. At any rate, they rebalanced my tires & corrected an issue with rotor retaining clips that may have also been adding to the problem. They also took care & did not scratch the wheels in the process & even used a torque wrench in tightening my lugs as opposed to the impact gun ugga ugga scale of tightness. My truck finally rides right again & I can’t thank them enough. While I was there the owner showed me around the shop. They have great techs & use the latest Hunter Roadforce balancing equipment. In fact they collaborated with hunter to develop & refine it. In addition to selling wheels & tires (and of course mounting & balancing them), they do all things wheel-related. This includes high end wheel repair, refinishing & a complete array of powder coating, chrome plating & color-changing options. If you’re in Los Angeles County or nearby I highly recommend them for your next wheels & tires. And if you’re anywhere in the US & are looking for powder coating or color-changing give them a look.

Hi John, I received the Porsche wheels yesterday that you re-chromed they look Amazing!!! As you know I had some apprehension/concerns..

Kudos to you and your staff for a job well done I couldn’t be more pleased with the results.

Thank You👍👍

I currently work at a freelance job and needed several logistics chromed. They met my expectations! Thank you so much for doing these! I will definitely keep you in mind for future work when I have more items to powder coat!

The wheel came out exactly how I needed and wanted it too. From the beginning to the end nothing but professional and great communication. Thanks again

From the phone contact, estimate, shipment to Cal Chrome then return delivery, process on time, on target.

Finished product to perfection!

These rims are for my 1982 Fiat Spider 2000 (Original Owner) Black Convertible that we are completely re-doing for my 16 year old Grandson, killer look!

Thank you for everything. It looks amazing! And your follow up afterwards via this email is top notch. Thank you again!

For over 7 months I have been chasing a vibration on my steering wheel that was driving be mad, after changing springs shocks racknpinion diskbrakes and over 5 wheel balancing jobs I found the issue were my wheels when I got a hold of another set that fit the car, turns out another shop said my wheels needed hub centric rings because my wheels did not bolt it properly, the issue was my wheels did not have a lip that allowed the ring to sit flush against the wheels so the issue persisted, thats when John (owner) of CalChrome noticed and said that if the rings did not fit flush they would not allow the wheel to sit well on the disk so after debating whether the wheels were bent or not they sent the wheels to make a lip that would allow for the rings to sit flush and voila…. After 7 months of sleepless nights my prob was solved, but not after the persistence of the guys at CalChrome, most places would just brush me away, not these guys, and Im forever grateful. This shop is the epitome of great service, every guy I talked to was nice, and I talked to quite a few of them, all great guys. John congrats on such a special group of guys you got there. You have gained a costumer.

I paid a steep price to get a brand new set of wheels powder coated but I just don’t see a high level of quality. Lots of minor imperfections and a spot that might possibly chip after about only 6 months of wear. Customer service left a bit to be desired though they did offer to mount tires and balance them for free for my troubles.

I had paid $600 and signed an invoice to get the wheels powder coated in dual stages only to be called next day and told it would be an additional $100. What reputable company gives their customer a signed estimate and doesn’t stand behind it? You can imagine how I felt upon seeing that my wheels weren’t perfect afterward. Maybe call Andrew’s in Chatsworth instead. They seem to be more on their game and their customer service is top notch.

CalChrome did an superb job powder coating and refinishing my beat-up OEM Mercedes wheels gloss black! They gave me loaner wheels and tires while my rims were being worked on. My wheels look outstanding now, thanks calchrome! ☺️

I had a chrome wheel that was flaking and pitting. I decided to have it stripped and re-chromed. To my shock there isn’t anyone with DFW that offers this service. I quickly learned it was a dying trade. I was referred to Calchrome. I shipped it and my payment out two weeks before the Covid-19 outbreak. With all the crazy things going on they still delivered. They stayed in contact with me, even with reduced staff Challenges. In fact I even heard from the owner. The wheel showed up today and it looks brand new like it came from the foose factory itself. Worth every single penny considering my wheels are discontinued and very hard to find. CalChrome is the way to go! Thank you very much guys!

I got my wheels powder coated in black and they look good. Overall good service and helpful people.

I can personally recommend CalChrome as we have been using them to do chrome plating and custom paintwork for years now. The quality of their chrome is top-notch and from my experience, other custom finish shops just don’t compare!

This is a fantastic shop whose work is second to none. We had an AMG wheel repaired. It had a crack and needed to be trued. I’ve got 40+ years of custom wheel experience and believe me, this was a first rate job.
