    normail chrome is a real shiny, see-your-face-in kinda look.
    shadow chrome is a duller, more silvery look

    Difference being shadow chrome(if there wolfrace wheels) are not proper chrome wheels.They just have a darker tint to them that normal chromes but yet they dont look the same as "normal" silver alloys

    The best Shadow Chrome example I can think of is the M5 wheel.

    I've got M3 alloys but the silver is peeling badly. Where do you get alloys restored. How much would it cost?

    Any body-works shop should be able to do them.

    Cost depends on type of wheel, damaged? size etc.. shop around

    Price can vary hugely,were are you located?

    A good option is powder coating,it can look the business depending on colour.
    Id say at a minimum your talkin 60 - 100 per wheel
