Default Best prices on wheels?

Where can I find the best prices on custom front wheels for a 98 FXSTC? I found an Ultima wheel I like for $519 but its polished aluminum. Are these OK?

I got mine on a close out deal through Drag Specialties. Check out Hogpro, one of the sponsors here on hdf.

If you like them but are not happy with the polished aluminum, you can always get them and send them out to get chromed or powdercoated.

I thought about that but I was just wondering if anyone knew of a good place to get wheels cheaper than $1000 a piece. I bought a set of 20"American racing rims and Goodyear tires for the wifes Tahoe for $1000 but I can't get one weld wheel for under $900. Where's the logic in that pricing? As much as I like spokes they are a real pain to clean and keep clean. I'm ready for a solid surface to polish. lol...

Check out the links in my signature. I've got a set of great wheels for a great price.

I just got a set of wheels here http://www.btaspecialty.comfor a pretty good price.
2 Weld 8 spoke chrome billet 3.5x18, 2 polished rotors, metz 160/60/18, metz 130/70/18 mounted and balanced for $2100.00. I looked for months for a deal like that. They were blowing out some sets heavily discounted but they have pretty good prices anyway. I would also check out Hogpro, they usually have some pretty good specials that change monthly.

I can sell you two chrome wheels from Weld for less than 1300.00 if I have in stock what you want.

do a search here for weld wheels

Well, no-one else said it so I will. Yes, Softail Bob, the bike wheel prices are jacked up. They have to make more per wheel to make it worth it because they don't sell as many. Plus, everything for bikes is jacked up in price.......
