Default Thinking about chrome wheels for my RK

Had spokes, changed to mags. Definitely want to stay tubeless, but thinking about some new wheels that are chrome, maybe similar to a wheel with spokes.

Suggestions, pics? Anyone here gone that route?

I am also interested in a set of chrome wheels for my 2015 Road King, I have been searching and the prices of wheels are expensive, especially after you add rotors and pulley. I am looking into chrome exchange wheels, either impeller, enforcer, and possibly 28 spoked knuckled wheels. Here is a link to the seller:http://www.ebay.com/itm/Harley-Chrom...3D321876305668

Just saw a thread the other day that HogPro referenced to something you may consider.
Take a look at HogPro reply with the Matrix wheel option.

I have not gone that route but surely keep an eye on what other members are doing.
Good luck in your search.

Depends on the year. If it's a 2009 or newer you can find some OEM 29 spoke knuckle wheels that have been fully chromed of find a set of take offs and send them in.

Now is the time to get a good deal with everyone taking off their CVO wheels and going the big wheel craze (not for me). I got these like new CVO complete wheels for $1200 shipped.

I just did a chrome wheel exchange along with the rotors bearings,bolts and lower fork legs. They arrive tomorrow and will be installed Friday. It is very reasonable and ***** shiny was super easy to deal with. There are multiple options out there and not a bad way to go if you want stock size wheels.

Chromed stocker can look pretty awesome.

If I recall you put some 16" Road Glide Airstrike type on right ??

I went with a 2013 Airstrike type in 18" front and a earlier like 2004-2008 era 16" for the rear, they match up pretty close.

I was thinking chrome but am chepo so I polished the heck out of the rim and ribs and was happy there.

Look on craigslist or ebay the holiday season can mean incredible deals also when you decide what exact wheel ask on the parts wanted.


Your bike is always changing man post up pictures of the old Copper !!
