Anyone try Mr Chrome for factory wheel exchange? (or wheel chroming company)

Has anyone tried Mr Chrome (www.mrchrome.com) for exchanging your factory wheels for chromed ones of the exact same type? Or a company like that?

If there's a wheel chrome plating company in the Bay Area, I'd consider that option too. But I like the fact that with an exchange program, my car wouldn't be without any wheels during the chrome process.

Did you end up using them? I am interested in this too.

I did not ending up getting my wheels chromed but I have had 3 other cars (pre-Teslas, Corvette, Lexus, & Acura) where the dealer had the wheels chromed prior to purchase. They said they used Mr Chrome or similar and those wheels did not give me any trouble during the ~10 years or so that I had those cars. So if factory chromed wheels is what you like, I wouldn't hesitate. The technology of chroming them is pretty mature nowadays as its been done for decades now. I just didn't have them done on our MX. Good luck @Jaybird !

Thanks. I've ordered mine. They seemed very nice at Mr. Chrome. Anyone know the correct size lug nut covers. Most of the kits say model s 2017+ and I have a 2014. I think 21mm may be the correct size, but I am not sure. Thanks!
