Default Chrome street glide wheels

Hi all, I'm looking to add a new look to my Street Glide and was wondering does anyone have any photo's of their S/G with the factory wheels chromed out. I have added the fat boy fender to show more of the wheel , and I'll be adding the fork sliders as well to enhance the front end.

I haven't taken that step yet, myself. But since you plan on doing your lower legs, you might think about going with a single brake caliper. That would help showcase those wheels you are looking for. I can't understand why guys spend so much money on wheels, and then cover them up with two rotors. I'm not slamming anyone, would love to be able to afford new wheels, it just seems like a waste to me, that's all.

BTW, you might check out the touring photo section for wheel options. Also, I know if you go to PM's website you can click your bike, paint, and choose from all of their wheel selections, to get an idea what yours might look like.

Who is this PM website? I'm thinking of doing the same thing. I was looking at the 8-spoke on the Hog Pro website. Another question, how does going from dual to single rotor affect the braking? I have a tendency to use more front brake than rear (old motocross habit).

Like I said, I don't think it is a waste. I would love to be able to afford them. It just seems like a waste to me to cover them with two rotors. IMO, and I didn't mean to offend ya.
