CAN YOU CHROME WHEELS ON 94 RT10?

[Gerald]

MANY VIPERS OWNERS HAVE DONE IT. I DON'T SEE HOW IT WOULD MAKE THEM WEAKER.

SORRY FOR YELLING

LOL!

I HAVE A 94 RT10 WITH STOCK RIMS. I TALKED TO A MAN THAT WORKS ON VIPERS AND HE SAID THAT IT WILL MAKE THE RIM WEAK AND OR BREAK. IS THIS TRUE? HAS ANYONE ELSE TRIED IT?

My rims are chromed, and I haven't seen or heard of any problems. Just make sure you get them done by a good shop, otherwise the chrome will start peeling off within a year or so.

Might be a better idea to sell the ones you have and get the factory chrome rims.

Tony,

Saw your car Saturday night at the club meeting. VERY sharp car. Wheels are going to be a ***** to clean though!!

 

[BlackACR]

Easy to clean. Zaino on all four wheels, scrub when I wash. Dry with a leaf blower. Very low maintains.

The three spoke wheels are already structurally compromised. All the rears have or will have abnormal amounts of runout. The chroming process can exacerbate any existing stress risers. If you are going to chrome them I would have a them tested afterwards to detect any areas that contain microscopic stress risers
