The most widely used method is to go shopping for a new set or search for second hand discount wheels on sites like E Bay. Prices will range from $200 to $7000 per wheel depending on what you want. Nowadays a lot of manufacturers like momo rims offer a full range of sizes and styles so by searching on the internet at various sites you are sure to find something that appeals to you. Wheels with varying numbers of spokes and in all shapes from round to square to hexagon the range is huge as are the colours. The whole wheel can be chrome or just portions of it with other parts done in any colour to match the look of your vehicle. If you want a totally unique set a custom manufacturer can design a one off set to your specifications although this will be the most expensive option.
Another option which can be cheaper is if you already like the style of your own wheels then simply get them chrome plated. Many plating companies can be found offering this service at reasonable prices. The process involves a really good clean followed by copper then nickel plating both of which are polished smooth and then the chrome plate last to give a spectacular finish.
Wheelskins are another cheaper alternative and in general can be considered as chrome hubcaps. But unlike hubcaps these are specially modeled to fit a wheel perfectly like a spray on skin. Fitted correctly it would be hard to tell them apart from a one piece custom wheel. Salesmen love them as adding this cheaper alternative to cars makes them look like having genuine chrome wheels which they sell them as. They are formed of plastic with a chrome finish with hidden clips on the rear to attach to the spokes or inside wheel rim. To buy these you must order the set specific to the make and model of your vehicle as these are designed only to fit one vehicle.
Spinners are the latest trend but be aware they can cost $5000 for one although prices are dropping as more manufacturers offer them you should still search for discount wheels online. These have an outer disc mounted on a special bearing which spins independently from the wheel and gives a very attractive and stylish look.
