Not sure about chrome but mine are polished and look much better than the stock ones. After drooling over them and seeing them selling for as much as $400.00 a set I found a set on ebay shipped to my door for $108.00. Along with my chrome HD calipers they really make a nice difference on the front end. Sorry, guess that shiny chrome made the pic a bit hard to see....

Super spoke rotors will look great with all kinds of spokes. http://www.zmancustoms.com/images/Sp_superrotor_2.gif

You can polish your stockers for using about 5 bucks worth of sandpaper or spend 100 bucks on a pair of eBay specials. I ran polished stocker for years, and bought the eBay ones after the stockers needed replaced.

Dumb question....
Won't the brake pads eventually wear away the polished finish?

I didn't expect a 'smart assed' answer to this!!!
Of course I use the front brakes...hard.
I have two piece rotors (front and back), just never saw the need to polish something that had a ware factor!

Kevlar pads leave a nice satin sheen on the wear area.

I sort of screwed up, I pulled the triger on a an oem polished one #41830-05 for 85 bucks from ebay, no I have to buy the right one. I will prob have to pay more now for the right. I should have just bought a pair straight up, unless I get a deal on the right, then everything is ok. lol Thanks for all the help guys.
