Jaws...it depends on how the chrome dipping was done. If you find a shop that will triple plate it (how it SHOULD be done), then you'll be perfectly fine. However some places will only dip your parts once, and that's where cracking and deterioration will take place. Having chrome rims will slow you down, but not anything TOO bad. That is, unless you decide to put on some blingin' 20's. WOOO-WOOOOOOOO.... lol tongue.gif
