Question Chrome Exchange??
Hey--- I am looking at getting some chromed rims for my 2001 Fatty. Can't afford fat spoke so I am looking at chrome exchange on ebay. You know---send them my factory wheels and they send you the smooth chromed version.

Anybody used any of these guys?

SPS Chrome
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/H-D-2...item2eac3084c2

Excaliber Chrome in Fullerton, CA
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Harle...item3eff1191ce

IF you have used any of these guys or can recommend someone who does the same thing (exchange)...let me know.

Thanks,

Never used these companies, i've used a co. called chrome that hog in the past, it was pretty painless. on a side note, i'm in your boat now, with a 2002 fatty, looking to do the chrome exchange as well, so i'll be watching this post as well.

Try Chrome pros plating, they do a core deposit and upon return of your wheels they cut you a cheque. They do great work and deliver as promised. Here is the link.
