Default Rim Exchange
Did a chrome rim exchange with Rick on e-bay. Factory street glide rims chromed. Rick does awesome work. Their at the dealer getting the tires swapped. Also got the 5 star rotors. Should look sweet.

Now's the time to put those chrome lowers on the front end. Then it'll really pop with the new wheels and rotors.

Pretty awesome. I have been following their store on eBay for a while. The pics of their exchange stuff look pretty good. Been debating over doing the same thing with my wheels and also doing the brake calipers. Trying to decide if the extra couple grand on a 21" will ultimately be worth it or if I will be satisfied with my stockers simply chromed...

Looking forward to your pics!

I did wheels, rotors, lowers, and calipers all from Ricks.

If those are not chrome lowers already he did a great job polishing them up!

Rick screwed up my order, with wheels, beerings, pully, brake calipers, rotors, took a month to get things straightened up, but he made it all good in the end!

And you'll notice the chrome lower legs. I rest my case.
