Default fat daddy rim ?
The fat daddy rims come with stainless steal spokes. Are these easily polished to look chrome? or is it alot of work? also maybe you cant tell the differance.

My co worker bought wheels from Sam. (Ride Wright) Very nice looking wheels. His spokes are stainless and they are polished up like chrome.
I think he told me they don't advise chrome due to the weakening of the metal during the chroming process.
