Doe`s anyone have any experience in chroming aluminium? I have a set of 28 spoke wheels that are in need of something and thought this might be a way to go,or is it better to sp[end the 3k for new ones?
Also how about the rotors and sprocket.....

If you find a reputable chrome plating shop, it's cheaper than new wheels. Most of what you pay for will be the preparation ( powder coat removal andpolishing) of your wheels. There are several places that do it on an exchange basis.Check reputation of the shop before you send your wheels. I prefer polished stock stainless rotors to chromed. IMO doing anything to the rear sprocket is wasted money, it's hidden behind the bags. A chrome cover if you want.
 
Tubguy did you ever get your wheels chromed? I've been thinking about having this done as well.
