Try BOMS AWAY (correct spelling) if you can find it. Non abrasive and really polishes alloy fast and easy.

&amp\\;nbsp\\;I was thinking about chroming mine too at some point.&amp\\;nbsp\\; Yesterday I went out and spent 35 bucks for Mothers aluminum polish and the speed ball.&amp\\;nbsp\\; Let me tell you that the wheels came out like chrome.&amp\\;nbsp\\;&amp\\;nbsp\\;The best 35 dollars I ever spent.

Lex, when I say metal casting I mean the wheels themselves are cast aluminum, not billet.&nbsp\\; From what I understand castings can be more porous which can present problems for chrome.&nbsp\\; It's nothing you can see with the naked eye.
&nbsp\\;
Renegade is a large manufacturer of custom wheels out of California.&nbsp\\; I bought my wheels through Hog Pro who sells Renegade and other manufacturers as well as there own designs.

I liked the look of the Victory 8-Ball with blacked out mags.&nbsp\\; So I am having my wheels powdercoated black next week.&nbsp\\; That's assuming the 3rd date my dealer has given me for arrival of my Rocker is correct.... I will post up pics once it's back together.
