WAIT do not dip anything i did the whole lowrider thing for a while and the chrome or gold dip will chip very easy unless its a show car so if you plan to have it as a everyday rider or a racer just buy chrome rims

Just have your aluminum rims polished!!....then no need to worry about chipping..and if done correctly, they can look just a good as chromed...I've been polishing aluminum for 8 years and I rather have alumium over chrome any day. Either way, it will cost a good penny, but if that is what you want, then go for it...Peace!
