Default Chrome Plating Stock Wheels

I've seen some pics of bikes with the stock wheels plated and looks pretty good! What's a ball park price to have a 16" rear/19" front plated like that?

These guys advertise on eBay all the time. Might send them a note and pics of your wheels and get an estimate.

They did my rear through an exchange program. I think I paid about $350 after all was said and done and the plating is flawless. Very easy to deal with and very fast turn around time provided the chrome plating process goes well. They gad to do mine twice because they want it perfect which made me happy. You're probably looking at $700-800 after shipping costs to do both.

Sport Chrome is a new sponsor here and I just got mine on the exchange program at the end of last week and they are fricking flawless. The deal I got was unbelievable too. I don't know if Jon wants me advertising it here or not so give him a call. http://www.sportchrome.com

I have dealt with both guys and they both do really nice chrome work. They both have a wheel core exchange program.

Out of curiosity, have you plated any new Indian Chieftain wheels?

Even now with 2 bikes I couldn't do without my wheels for weeks at a time. Harley actually has some nice wheels reasonably priced. And if you search eBay you can occasionally run across a nice chrome wheel for about $500. Spending close to 2K for a wheel simply eludes me.
