Default $1397.31 in UPGRADES....I'm happy, take a look..
Finally decided to take the plunge on chrome wheels and.........

$560.00 - Chrome 9 spoke wheels, bearings & sleeves (exchange, free shipping)
$120.00 - Two front polished rotors w/chrome bolts (exchange, free shipping)
$214.00 - Polished rear rotor, chrome pulley & pulley bolts (exchange, free shipping)
$15.08 - Chrome rear rotor bolts (MOCO)
$222.98 - Metzeler ME880 Marathon tires (free shipping)
$20.99 - Dyna Beads
$65.95 - Labor to install bearings, sleeves & mount Metzelers
$178.31 - Billet rear break lever (MOCO)

I realize the saddlebags pretty much cover the rear rotor and pulley but I just couldn't get myself to mount the old chit on the new chrome rim.

I'm most happy with the fact that I did all the work myself (except mounting rubber and bearings).

My first time R&R wheels, rotors, pulley.......it was a blast, a VERY reasonable final price for all that was installed and I think it looks great.

BTW, took it for a putt yesterday........the Metz's are awesome!!

What say you?

Looks sweet. I've been thinking about going this route on my SG. Can't make my mind up on the 9 spoke or chromed SG wheels. Great value and looks great.
