I knew that before I even got these installed. First thing the mechanic at my indy pointed out to me as well.

But, hey, a 20 foot center console bay boat is a must have for me too, someday, but I can't buy it with my charm and good looks.

Those wheels are off the hook man. Now why can't Harley hook those up stock?

Couple of reasons I can think of. First, same reason as why they don't chrome some other things stock - they want you to come back and buy the chrome after the fact. Second, these wheels come stock on bikes that aren't typically very chromed out anyway and they would look out of place, IMO.

Why they don't offer chromed versions of these and some of the other mag wheels, specifically, in the P&A catalog - no idea. Probably because they know they can't or won't sell them for anywhere near what you can send them off and have them done for.

I wasn't a big fan of those wheels originally, but chromed, wow, they look really good.
I'd like to get some myself someday but my wallet is already crying from what I've spent this year.
Those wheels that HD has, call "Reaper", awww man, I love em but, dammnit, according to the catalogue they don't have the front rim in 19". I don't want to go to a 21".

If you don't mind a nit pik... your front turn signals look like they need to pitch forward to match the lines of your headlight. No biggie, just caught my eye.
Bike is very slick!
