Default Creative idea for stock SG wheels

I would like to do something creative with my stock 16" wheels for my 08 Street Glide. I'm thinking of just painting them a gloss black (including the rim) but does anyone have any other thoughts on cool uses for them?

I had a pair of stock SG wheels chrome plated and then put them on my Roadking Classic!

Do you have a picture James? I guess there really isn't much else you can do other than chrome or powdercoat them. It probably isn't worth the coin to do it, but chrome out rim and gloss black center would look good I think.

Glider, I believe there is a shop in CA that will send you a chrome set for 2 sets of stock cores. They look really good plated.

Hmmm wonder how much it costs to just have these plated? I'll have to look around Dallas.
