Default New Rims?

Hello Everyone, I am thinking about maybe getting new rims for my 05 electra glide, any ideas or pics. I would like some chrome rims however I think they are awfully proud($$$) of some of the rims out there.

i usually buya whole wheel. too much work buying and installing just a rim. over the years before alloy wheels i have built up many at the family H-D shop starting with a rim and adding the hub and spokes. no offense intended but the term "rim" is incorrect. a rim is part of a wheel not a complete wheel. LOL. Rim has become a sport tuner misnomer.
