HD currently sells stock chrome rims for $499 each. Looks real nice, IMO. May go with that route next Spring when I also order Chrome Forks too.

wheels like on the 2010 limited are nice, i kind of like the black inserts around the spokes it's a nice contrast with the chrome, thinking about ordering a set of those for my King, i checked Chicago H/D and they are 399.96 apiece with there 20% discount....(regular price is 499.99 per wheel) and shipping was around 25.00, the part#'s are 42195-10 and 42196-10 ......

If you go with the chrome wheels, you gotta go with the polished rotors. If you go with the polished rotors, you gotta go with the chromed calipers. If you go with the chromed calipers, you gotta go with the chromed front end .....

AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Help! I can't stop myself!

I skipped on the Calipers...Personally, I like the contrast with a black bike

I really like these wheels too (for the price). My problem is my RoadGlide is a 2007 with the 16" front wheel, these are 17's. I've been trying to find out if its possible to switch them & which parts I might need. I believe the axle is bigger, do the rotors need to be switch too? At this time I just want the front wheel swapped. I know there is a back wheel on my bike, but damned if I can see it.
