Cast alluminum can be chromed. For example, the chrome lower fork sliders are cast alluminum and they chrome up very well. Also, there are lots of solid cast Fatboy wheels out there that have been chromed.

Wheels look good to me in the pics.

Ah yea your right. Good point! I guess I got some bad info. I was told the chrome would not stick well because cast has pours and that it would cause it to bubble down the road.

Oh well, now I know!
