Dechrome? That's a new one. Don't you just sand blast it off and have the wheels painted somewhere?

Thats an option, but ive read that its almost easier to have them acid dipped.
Whats the deal with powder coating wheels? is it easy to get gunmetal spokes, and silver lip?

Not a bad idea, but the chrome is so heavy  . Wonder how hard it is to selectivley sandblast just the inner spokes and if its even possible to make it look good w/ the powdercoating....

there maybe, but you're also talking about removing chrome. Iwould think an acid dip may work better, similar to that used on the chrome rings around the grille.
