From what I understand Nascar does not allow chrome plated parts (including wheels) because the metal under the chrome could crack and you will not see it. The Toyota's with the chrome looking wheels are actually painted and if they have a crack it will crack the paint.
I chrome plated a brake rod for one of my motorcycles one time. Snapped on me at the bend in a emergency braking situation. Did not fair too well on that one. I will never have anything like that chromed again.
Just a thought.Last edited by Bug; 10-25-2010 at 08:53 PM.
