I like it and wish I would have thought to have it done as my Road King was recently custom painted. Had the nacelle, bars and a few other parts color matched but never thought about the wheel.

I agree with the chrome calipers helping out. I have a set of chrome OEM HD style I can't even find a picture of doing an internet search. Apparently they are no longer made, I guess because they were quite expensive. Got mine on eBay and pretty sure they were about $750 but have had them quite a while. Sitting in an airport now so can't even take a pic. Even at that the bike is still at the shop going through a complete makeover.

Pic with a little more sun. It really pops! Since they got the color right I may do the exhaust shields and some other items but want to make sure I still keep the chrome look going

A little bit of color accent goes a long way. I think it looks just right, just because you can doesn't mean you should. I'd have a local powder coater do a few of the chrome pieces gloss black and tie it all together.

Looks great and cost effective I bet compared to aftermarket.
