Looking around for front and rear rims which I shall fit, Central Wheel and Devon Rims seem to be the main suppliers - would like comments on which members favour or any other suppliers they have used - both the above seem to be reputable - comments please.

chrome rims
Hi,
Recently had a front wheel rebuilt by Doug Richardson using a stainless rim. Rim was a similar price to chrome, but looks the same and in my opinion few folks would be able to tell the difference[ I couldn't ].
It will be impossible to obtain anything like original, so I personally would go along the stainless route.
Even the rims classed as of British manufacture are not of original quality and I have heard horror stories of new rims rusting badly after very short periods of time.
I had a chat to my local chrome plater recently about chroming wheel rims, who commented that his advice would be not to touch any modern day chromed rims because modern chroming techniques are not a thorough as in years gone by! starider
