Another day in busy China to check out the Chroming plants. Because of environmental rules this is made very easy, all plants for chroming and plating are actually in one building for the whole city area!
This building house over 25 companies…:)
the center of the wheel and the rim is always chromed separately..
Chroming is a process of several baths , I mean many baths, to rinse, coat and rinse, and rinse and rinse….:)
here the center caps for modular wheels… everything is fully automatic….
This is the real chrome actually… after the nickel…..
This is a big building… wowh, very impressive…
Food! yes, we have to feed ourselves, something they know very well how to do in China, forget about Chinese restaurants in Europe or the USA, here everything is fresh????? you choose they prepare…
and prepared it looked like this….yammie….:)
Thanks Jimmy for taking me around today
And this is my favorite part… the sharing scooter… Thousands of this scooters spoils the cities, You scan and drive… real nice, and real cool too!
Thank you to all for the great hospitality I could enjoy in China, great country…
now its time to move on, big VW show this weekend…. in Japan! Are you joining? I’m already in the plane while writing this!

Hi Gil
well Corona and a anti dumping tax from 68% oin steel wheels didn’t help me any forward, I’m looking now to have the wheels produced outside China (68% is simply too much) I try now to get my tooling out of China… a whole experiment…:)
So concrete reply to your question, No, we do not have any worthy update yet…. but… we continue the project…
always at your service
Bob
