Default Limited - Wheels aluminum or chrome?

I thought for sure the wheels on the Limited were chrome, but the website says "Cast Aluminum." The website also says the Limited's have air suspension, but I know they have the premium hand adjusted suspension. Are the wheels on the Limited chrome or cast aluminum?

http://www.harley-davidson.com/store...in-front-wheel Read the "features" ... I believe that your question is "Do they come standard?" on the Limited. That I don't know but, the "Knuckle" wheel is available in a chromed version of the OE Aluminum finished wheel. Hope this helps.

Mine on my 2010 Ultra Limited are chrome; a buddy with a 2010 Road King has the same wheels in bare aluminum.

They are chrome - **** poor chinese masked off chrome. Same for the Agitator wheels and probably all contrast chrome wheels - instead of taking a chrome wheel and adding powder coat OVER it, they mask it off (poorly) and leave the edge with tiny little beads of chrome where it was taped.

The Limited has air shocks. The Limited Low has the Premium hand adjustable.

Harley calls the wheels "Contrast Chrome".
As mentioned, they are cast aluminum, with some chrome contrast edges.

Also as mentioned, only the "Low" version of the Limited has the Premium Hand Adjustable shocks.
Those are 12" lowered shocks. The regular version of the Limited still uses the 13" air shocks.
