Well first of all you will not find many because of the cost. And not to many scooter folks will spend that much for chrome rims so they will not carry to many choices if any. So do some googling BRO, if not you can have your current rim chromed, just remember either way it will be expense.

The best quote I've found locally (Las Vegas) was $150 per rim.

My god $150 for a 13inch scooter rim is insane.

Leo's do-it-himself whitewalls make me wonder. Can you take off your wheels and spray the rims with Krylon Chrome? They (at least used to) have that mirror shine finish in gold, silver, chrome (always wondered what the diff was between chrome and silver), and copper.

A kit costs around (depending on conversion rates) $200 + shipping, about $60 to the US, they are in the UK. The kit has enough for 16sqft, which is roughly enough for 7-8 scooter rims. If you have 3 or four scooters (or sets of rims) you want to chrome, it may be worth it.
