I made a mistake.
I bought only the front Ultra Limited wheel for my 09 EGC,thinking that you can't see much of the rear wheel since the rear has been lowered.Man,was I wrong,that rear non-chrome wheel stands out like a sore thumb.I'm glad it's near the end of the riding season up here,now I have all winter to save up for the rear.
But I do love the look of the front one,the pic doesn't do it justice.

Yeah,I'm very happy with the look.I wasn't sure if it would look a whole lot different from the polished wheel,but it is a big change.Looks great with the narrow white wall.

Not enough chrome on those wheels for me. For that price i'd go all chrome for sure, and make cleaning so much easier too.

I agree with you. You can buy 2 completely chromed wheels on eBay for $700 and you ship them your stock ones for exchange after you've mounted theirs. Shipping both ways is included.

I'm going to do the same thing as you did. My bike is lowered 1.5 inches so it's even harder to see the rear wheel. I had an 05 Road King and only changed the front wheel and I didn't have anyone notice the rear wheel not being chromed. Even after seeing yours, I'm still only going to do the front wheel.
