who does good Chrome work in SoCal.

I need to find a good shop to refurbish my chrome steel wheels on my 69T.
Anybody know of a good chrome shop near LA or SoCal.?
I have heard about Vern's in Gardena.
Thanks

Any decent motorcycle shop will be more than happy to take your business.

It is my understanding that you have to go to a wheel specialist to get decent chrome on wheels. I have been told it is difficult to chrome a wheel without getting what they call shadows, the specialists have setups for positioning the electrodes a normal chrome shop doesn't have. At least this is the story I got when shopping chrome shops to do wheels.
