Cragar wheels

[Ceedawg]

I have a set of 60 year old 15 x 4 fronts, been in my garage since 1980, can they be re-chromed? Anyone done this.

Too expensive and too difficult to find a place to do it in most cases. Cheaper to buy new.

You could have them blasted and powder coated...

We blasted and powder coated them Gloss Black.

It was 75 each a few years ago and the look great on his
car!

Probably can be done.
Will cost way, WAY more than they are worth.

You could investigate chrome-like powder coat.

As said above, buying new would probably be the best course.

Try powder coating instead of rechroming as mentioned above?

Powder Coating Color Collections | Shop | Prismatic Powders

Prismatic Powders has a chrome that is reflective. You can order swatches from them or you could check with a "powder coater" in your area and tell them what you want to do. Get a quote of course for them to strip, prep, and powder coat your wheels.

Extreme Powder Coating near Fort Belvoir might be worth considering.

I intentionally captured the reflections of my fingers in this swatch for "Super Chrome Plus"...that's my best attempt to catch its reflectivity. UMS-10671

***
I don't do powder coating. I was looking for silvers to match painted wheels on my cars; and possibly use the Super Chrome Plus on other car parts.

You would have to understand how chrome is applied. I say probably not. The chrome shop would have to have an exact reverse copy of your wheel, to do what they call 'scare chrome ' the chrome solution into the recessed areas. Doubt that you are going to find that.
This applies to anything chromed that has a recess in it. I could not rechrome the old steel wheels on my '72 Sportster for this reason.
