Question chrome it or up grade?

Hey everybody just wanted to hear your thoughts. I have a Rocker C and was wondering if it would be worth it to chrome my wheels or just save for custom wheels. Also does any know or have a link to someone who makes a 21" version of the stock front Rocker wheel? I really like the style of the stock wheels, but I want to go to a 21" front wheel so I'm kind torn.
To chrome or not to chrome?

If you plan on doing custom wheel in the future save for them.

I think they look nice the way that they are. But if you really want chrome and you really want a 21" wheel, a custom chrome rim would probably be the way to go.
