Default Review: ***** Shiny chrome exchange

I told myself that I’d swap out the stock Enforcer wheels when it came time to change tires. The OEM Dunlop’s wore out and cupped so I ordered some American Elites and started researching a vendor to do a chrome exchange on the wheels. I like the look and size of the stock wheels, just not how ugly the two-tone aluminum looks when it gets weathered. Initially I looked at Sport Chrome, and would have gone with them if they had actually returned my email and gave me a total price. They never did, which gave me the time to research further. Upon doing so, I found ***** Shiny. I was unable to find a single negative thing about ***** Shiny, however, I found several about Sport Chrome. Lots of folks rave about the perfect finish of the chrome and the fact that they go the extra mile in removing any high spots where the rotors mount to ensure they’re true, and chasing the rotor mounting screw holes so there’s no chrome causing issues when installing them. They even install new bearings in their wheels. I found through my research that none of those things can be said about Sport Chrome.

I called Joe at ***** Shiny and was very impressed with his knowledge, demeanor, and the meticulous process he follows when chroming parts. His quality control standards are very high. Plus they had polished rotors and some awesome looking spacers to replace the stock right spacer and cover the ABS sensor/spacer. I was sold. I placed my order and the wait began. This is peak season for him so he was very busy. I placed my initial request on March 1st and just got everything Friday.

All I can say is WOW! The packing job was awesome and the wheels are gorgeous! I got lots of compliments by the folks at my local dealer that mounted the tires for me. The spacers are very nice and really finish the look. They even included a return shipping label (that I paid for), which saved me about $60. Overall a pleasurable transaction and incredible products!

If you’re in the market for some chrome Enforcer wheels, give ***** Shiny a look. He has other products too and will take great care of you.

Look great! Exchanged my front brake calipers with ***** Shiny and they look just as nice as your rims! They are a class outfit!

Your wheels look outstanding and congratulation on doing both wheels even though "you don't see the rear wheel".

When the 2014's came out with the new Enforcer wheels I decided I wanted to go black with the wheels. This was after just 6 weeks or so of the 14's coming out. I called Joe and he already had a set of black powder coated Enforcers and we made the deal and I had my new wheels within a week. His wheels were for non ABS but even after the deal was made he included the correct bearings for ABS at no charge. He does great work and is very customer friendly..

Thanks fellas! I’m very pleased. And yeah, there’s no way I would have been able to live with not getting the rear wheel done too. Lol!

Joe is a stand up guy and does outstanding chrome work. Got my chrome sliders from him and I’m looking for chrome caliper bolts because the stock ones look like crap now.. All I’m finding is for pre 2014 but somebody has to have them.

Looks great. Had mine going on 4 years now and still look amazing. Joe is an awesome guy to deal with for sure. His spacers and axle nuts look so much better than the H-D version, really finishes off the front end with a clean look.

I have nothing but good things to say about ***** Shiny. I have referred a lot of locals that are not internet people to them and they are all very satisfied with the product.

My dealer was able to order kits for me. They’re polished SS and replace the 3 bolts holding the caliper together and the 2 caliper mounting bolts. Can’t remember the brand but it wasn’t an HD part.
