Default did you chrome them
timvan those look great-I liked the new style on my 2009 but after being sick and tired of cleaning my 2003 rims constantly to keep the aluminum from oxidizing I put 2009 screaming eagle rims on my new ultra. I wouldn't mind chroming my original rims after seeing yours. Did you get them chromed ,roughly what did it cost , or did the dealer have them for you.

Man those look great. I like the new rims on the '09s, but seeing them chromed is even better. Good Job. Perfect bike choice by the way.

I did a exchange with chrome pros plating, they did excellent work. It was about a $1k job after tire and new bearings intstall

Those look awesome. I'm glad I've seen chrome rims with the small whitewall stripe. I'd like to pick up chrome rims, etc for my '07 in the spring, and I wondered whether or not to go with the black tire, or retain the ones on my bike (I had to put new ones on right at the end of the season). Good job.
