Default Fatboy Wheels

Got a 95 Fatboy with standard aluminum wheels. Anyone concerns or recommendationsabout getting the existing wheels chromed and any recommendation on quality shops in the New England area.New custom rims are not out of the question.

Thanks in advance for replies.

I have a buddy that flat blacked his'91 Fatboyand has the stock wheels chromed. Looks okay on his bike, but thelook is a little dated now. You're better off with different rims or spokes or ??? Whatever floats your boat.

As for chroming, it's been done by a lot of people on a lot of bikes so YES, it's do-able and you should have no problems. Problem is, a lot of companies charge you just as much for the chroming as a set of rims off of Ebay.
