Default Chrome 9 Spoke Touring Wheel Exchange?

Hey Gang ? Has anyone out there used "Impress-Plating and Polishing" for the wheel exchange ?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HARLE...1%7C240%3A1318

Take a look on this Ebay link they have a 3 yr warranty. So far the best I have found. Would like some feedback.
Thanks! Bikerdad61

Never used them for wheels but sent them some rotors and I was extremely impressed with turn around and professionalism.

just put chrome 9 spokes on my ultra.

I looked at swaping my wheel stock wheels for a set of chorme wheels for $700 at a chrome house in corpus.

I looked at buying a new set of HD (made in china) chrome 9 spoke wheels from Zannotti's deliverd for $950.

It made more sence to buy the new wheels from Zanotti and had my rotors polished locally for $165 (all three)....total investment of $1115. I then sold my stock wheels for $300.

my out of pocket costs for NEW HD 9 spokes was $815.

To me buying new for $115 more than swaping was worth it!

Sounds like they're pretty good. I can personally vouch for ChromeProsPlating exchange program. Actually I sent mine in, and had them chrome my wheels. It's been over three years and I haven't had a chip, peal, or blemish. Love em. And they were $550 for BOTH! I thought that was a great deal.

I didn't do the exchange, I sent them my wheels and had them chromed. They offer the best warranty and I am very happy with their quality.

Mine are exchange from Impress Plating and Polishing. Their service is excellent and the wheels are flawless. Cost $1050 up front, that includes the new bearings installed and two way shipping cost. You get $300 back when they get your original wheels. The same wheels from HD are $549.95 each and you'll need 4 bearings at $60 each, then add the labor for the bearing installs and you're well over $1400. And with Impress Plating warranty they can't be beat.
