Check out Chromeprosplating.com. They chrome stock wheels and sell them on an exchange program or you can send em yours and they will chrome them. I just did an exchange for a set of chrome wheels for my 2007 RG. Both wheels 625.00 +/-. They have pictures on their website and sell off ebay. Since I live in Texas I went to them and swapped wheels, no shipping. A really nice chrome job and the guys that work there are great at customer service.

+1 on a job well done... Though I don't live in Tx, they did do my 200 HP Busa swingarm and it has stood the test of time!

Chrome wheels are very easy to keep clean.
Give them a cleaning, layer on a good wheel wax, and they clean very easy with very little effort.

Chrome plating on mine has been good for years.
