What's a ballpark price for a stock chrome rear wheel from HD?

Get me a part number and I'll get you discounted pricing on that wheel. My HD parts book is at the shop.

At Harley they are either $750 or $550. You can get the same ones at
www.mandmcycles.com for $650 or $450.
Or try ebay

Any advantage to buying the stock chrome rim from Harley for ~$700 over having the existing aluminum rim plated for $350?
Would the stock chrome wheel hold up better/longer?
Thanks
