Default Need Help Choosing Chrome Wheels

So I had a previous post about sliders. I am also planning to do a chrome wheel upgrade. I have attached two images of my possible choices. One set is the factory chrome OE wheel that have been chrome plated. The other set is the HD Reaper wheels.

The chrome OEs are $745.00 exchange with new bearings.

The HD Reapers are $1474.00 no exchange. If you add the options for a matching Reaper chrome sprocket and rotor the HD setup goes to $2276.00.

Keep in mind I am being quoted about $300.00 in addition for labor at both HD and an independent for the swap.

What would you do?

I have the Reapers on both of my Dyna models;
2010 FXDWG
2011 FXDB
Best looking wheel I could find.

You can get those wheels online for about $600 each, you still need the instal kit but you don't HAVE to get the matching rotors and pulley or you can add those later on.
