Which do you prefer, and why?

Sub Question: What should I expect to pay for a chrome rear wheel?

Thanks

 

For the FXSTC I like the Magnum 5 from Harley, it looks badass and solid and goes for 549.95: http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/g...bmLocale=en_US

 

I like the chrome better. I have mine in the shop now getting 2 chrome reaper wheels on it. I saw pictures of mine and the back wheel just stood out like a sore thumb.

Also go to mandmcycles.com and save $100 off the harley priced wheels. I saved over $300 when I got my wheels. And I have nothing to do with them just got great deals


See what I mean about looking out of place. Everything is chrome but the back wheel

 

Go for the chrome,aluminum is a pain in the ***.Chrome you wash and wax,polished aluminum you wash ,dry, and then polish with a good polish which could take a few hours.

 

Chrome for sure, easy to maintain, the down side of chrome is when you get a chip, it cannot be fixed. Small dings on aluminum wheel can be repaired and polished.

 

What would I expect to pay for a chrome rear wheel for a 2007 Softail Custom, and where would be the best place to buy?

Any idea what I could sell my aluminum one for?

Thanks

 

I second that


You can get your stock wheel chromed

 

I recently bought a chrome Duece wheel for my 99 fxstc. It's in the shop right now getting installed. I paid around 350.00$ plus my old wheel for exchange. I bought it on ebay from Chrome pro's plating,Awesome looking wheel but you have to be patient in getting it.

 

I "prefer" the aluminum, because the price is right!

Chrome wheels are certainly boss...I just don't want to spend the money!

I polish my factory aluminum rear wheel about once a month (Mother's), and I have gotten compliments on it. It shines like a bit**, and it does not take hours to do, btw.

 

Chrome is sweet BUT if your getting chrome, but sure to do your research and buy from a quality outfit...because there is nothing worse than peeling chrome...warranty is a very good thing.
