I need a new 1. they are of a Mk1/2 mondeo the shadow chrome ones.

If any of you work for FORD please check and see if I can get one. They are 16" rims.

I'll get a pick up later so you all know what wheel I'm on about & the damage.

I've contacted a few refurb companies & they say its cant be re-chromed would need to be painted to look like chrome. so all 4 need done :( so if I can source a new one I will try get it.

It dosent look to bad but i'm a fussy git :D

did you buy it chromed because i don't think them wheels cam standard like that if you did buy them like that could be worth a try seeing if you can contact the original owner to see where he got them chromed

They came chromed from the factory, it could be hard to find one as they suffered really badly with rust and neglect. See if you can find a caroming company rather than a refurb they should be able to strip the chrome off and re do
