Stainless, not chrome. Chrome rusts. Diamond or pearl Landmark stainless spokes sure look nice rolling downt he road.

They are easier to keep looking good because they don't rust....I don't have a clue where you will find them in Australia.

Default Your front wheel
Hi,

Read your thread and thought I would respond regarding a chrome front wheel from my '97 Wide Glide. It is a chrome Weld Racing wheel, 5-spokes that are stepped, and the size is 21" x 2.15" or stock. I originally paid approximately $1,250 for the wheel.

Let me know if you are interested.

Todd
