Well, I'm finally getting around to have my H-Spokes chrome plated. I plan to ship them out tomorrow to CalChrome. I just wondered what value I should insure them for with UPS. Do you guys have any idea? Thank you.....

$3,000 to $4,000 .................isn't that what it would cost you to replace them?

A LOT. I think each rim could go for over 1G a piece if not more. 
I believe a set of SRT 5 spokes go for $5900.00 new.

Thanks guys. I am going to insure them for $2000 per package. So, $8000 total for the rims and tires, to be on the safe side................
Fed ex actually lost a rear rim on me. I was shipping from Canada to California, the tracking number shows it went missing in Boston. I found a used one for $900 and everything turned out okay in the end. But it is a fight to get money out of them, they spent a month looking for it before they would admit it was missing. I am sure it is someones coffee table now..
Why ship the Tires? Costs almost double to ship the rubber Trans-USA.
Are you having the SRT letters done up in RED or ?? Reasonable and **** add on, coordinates w/ Calipers.

I am sending the tires too so they can mount, balance, and fill them with nitrogen for me. To be honest I don't trust any of the local shops to do this! I thought about the "colored" letters, but to be honest I don't know how the bright red would look with the Venom Red. I wish the calipers matched the car, then I would do it for sure. I"m not sure how it would look if I did the letters Venom Red either cause then it would not match the calipers....
Do you think your RED CALIPERS clash with your Venom Red car? I have a customer with a VIOLET car and Red letters wheels, he gets tons of compliments. The lettering really makes the wheels POP with the red caliprs behind....
I do think that Cal-C has SOB colors that would be very close to VenomRed Marooney, for rim and/or caps. Or, How about BLACK letters? Charcoal? They go with anything and add dimension.
In any case, you wheels will be stunning. and Nitrogen is a great fill esp on STORED wheels

Yeah, I do think that the red on the calipers clash a little with the Venom Red Paint. Black letters might be something to think about though. I have heard alot about CalChrome and have looked at several pictures of wheels on this site that they have done, so I can't wait to see how mine turn out!
