You never go wrong with chroming the wheels 1st then start from there. Yeah I've seen some overdone but it always depends on your personal preference. But yeah start with throwing chrome on the wheels because if you chrome other parts it's not going to look rite until the wheels are dipped. My 2cents.

No matter how I struggle and strive, I'll never make it out of this world alive.
