If chrome wheels are your thing this looks like a "Really" good deal.

I think they would look really good on most Nomads. Im sure that price is for one wheel and not the pair.

To bad they not in eastern Canada :'(
I'd be interested

The other night I was with a group of riders enjoying a fine meal. Across the table from me was an experienced motorcycle mechanic. Not a wet-behind-the-ears, not-shaving-yet kid fresh out of MMI, but a partner in a top-notch independent motorcycle shop.

We were discussing chrome plating vs powder coating. He said that good chrome shops are getting hard to find. He also mentioned that most reputable platers won't chrome aluminum motorcycle wheels anymore because the solution they use to etch the aluminum surface before plating eats the area where the wheel bearings fit and enlarges them so the bearings may come loose.

Just reporting what he told me.

Those look pretty cool!! I'd definitely consider them if they were in my area.

Nice looking wheels but you know I am very pleased with my wheels just as they are. After all the only thing they do is to roll you down the highway. Of course they stop you when you need to stop.

**ringadingh** · 01-25-2011, 08:54 PM

Jared; get them shipped, and you can have them. ;)

Can't see spending that amount of money? for chrome wheels?? Mind go around ok :):) And like cactusjack said>??? wow I am not takin the chance. But wasn't there another guy on here at one time with the wheels buffed out. Now they looked good to :)

I just looked on ebay and the cheapest stock wheel is $150 each. You'd only be spending about $50 after you sold yours...

Chrome wheels ??? I don't even wash the stock wheels.
Chrome sounds like to much work.
