| Who out there makes the best chrome replacement wheels? Looking for good replacements for my Ghia that won't rust the first time they get wet. Cost really doesn't matter. |

Your only real option if you want chrome and not polished alloy is getting them chrome plated yourself, especially if cost doesn't matter.
I am not aware of any of the chrome rims actually hold up very well unless you clean and wax regularly.
Triple plated chroming is the only thing that will hold up and it will be expensive.

Sorry I have no reference to back this up- but perhaps a Porsche parts catalog- one that deals in 914s would want to sell only the best.
