Default chrome the stock wheels????

I have seen a street glide that had chrome plated the stock wheels, looked really good. I'm thinking of getting some 2010 take offs & getting them chrome plated for my 09 any ideas here? then I also get that 18in..

I was going to do that with my 06 RKCustom but the more i got to looking into it , the more i noticed something i didn;t like, if your talking about the cast wheels with , i think 5 or 6 slots. they have to sand the cast smooth, and if they don't get it smoothed just perfect it looks like its wavy, and rippled, just look real close, because the more chrome on a flat surface the more you might notice it. just some advice. Carroll out.

not sure if the 09 are cast or not, if so the casting is very smoth,, the black on mine looks like slick black its as smooth as the machined edge...as slick as the paint.. figured it would be easy to chrome.. hope it dosent flake off..
