Lou,
I noticed that you said downtime is an issue for you. I can certainly understand that - especially this time of year. You might want to consider going the route that I did. I bought an extra set of Street Glide rims on eBay for $230 in mint condition. I took them to my chromer and kept riding for the 3 weeks that it took for my rims to get chromed. Then I installed the chrome rims and I sold my stock rims on eBay. Just a suggestion.

You can also buy a set and get your core back when you return yours. I will be using this company when I get mine done. I am going with "Black Chrome".
