They are all expensive. I think Hogpro will cut you a break on shipping, if you mention you are a member here. HD wheels aren't bad IMO.

Yep, they're all expensive. What we ride are considered "Toys" and therefore the owners are supposed to have "Disposable Incomes" and the accessories are priced accordingly high

All the wheels are expensive. I just installed the MC Motorsports wheels you can find on ebay. They were good to deal with, and the quality is not bad. Hopefully they will last for a while. The cost was about half what other wheels and brakes would cost.

One downside, they don't have many styles.

I'm not saying this with any bias, but when it comes to CHROME, I would suggest you buy from a reputable company that has been around for a while and is known to stand behind their product(s). The different processes/quality for chroming can come at your expense sooner than later if you are not selective and careful who you buy from.......even if one does feel that wheels are expensive.

GAS is expensive.
