Default Road king wheels

I have a 2012 RK and the front wheel is pitting. Some of this is my fault but a lot of it has to do with riding in Nova Scotia both early and late in the year with salt on the roads. Does anyone have any ideas/pics of how to have the rim refinished with something different than the factory finish? I've seen them chromed but I am looking for something a little different. I am leaning toward a black chrome finish that I can get done here locally but would love to see what else is out there. Thanks, from "STILL SNOW FILLED NOVA SCOTIA"!

You may have local shops that can do something similar, but we have Powder Pro as an HDF sponsor and they can do marvels with pretty well everything, including wheels. Take a look in the Tech Paint section where there is a long running thread of work they have done. Get a long drink and have a browse!

I just checked that link and some of the photos don't show for some reason, but there is plenty to browse and admire!
