That's just a stock photo from another bike. Mine have little tiny pit marks around them, and while you can't see them from a distance, you can up close when you're cleaning them.

[QUOTE=skinless;9590230]We had floods? Not in my neck of the woods. The pitting is just from negligence and leaving it outside.

[quote=PatrickHenninger;9564647] I bought the bike used quote]
Thats why I was asking!!!! Have heard of a guy bought used from harley place in Greenville did first fluid change and primary was full of water. When I bought mine used guy never took care of the wheels and they sure didn't have any pitting.

It just clicked in my brain as I have been watching a lot of wheel threads go by, that my spoke wheels look different from most of the other stock wheels I see... I've been wanting to get something different, like the 10-spoke mags but I can't even come up with a ball park for what to ask for mine... They're apparently called Tubeless Chrome Profile Laced wheels. They have a 'smoothie' look to them, no lips like the other spokes I've seen. I bought the bike used, and the front and rear wheels look just like these:
I Google'd my *** off to find them, and the website the pic came from says it's a 2012 option, and mine is an 07, so I'm guessing the previous owner managed to change the wheels while putting 900 miles on it. :|
Anyhow, since I don't have any idea what to even ask for them price wise, has anyone ever had these wheels powder coated? I may just go that route if I can't come up with a trade deal.
