Yes, I actually like the look, will look great chromed, $670 for both. Also installing HD teardrop chrome floaters with the rims.

I just did the same rotors...just need to do the wheels.

Why was it $670.00, I could have sworn that I was quoted $550.00

Yeah thought the same but they have not updated thair site yet, the 09 rims require a lot more work than 08 and prior, they told me up front so no complaints from me.

Thats funny I just called Randell at Chrome Pros on Thursday and the price was still $550. StreetGlide wheels must be cheaper.

After talking with him I didnt have a comfortable feeling.
I talked to a local shop that was going to switch my tires, bearings, etc. and they recommended Classic Components. I have their chrome rims on my Goldwing so I know their work. So the guy at the local shop looked into a comparison between Chrome Pro's and Classic Components. Chrome Pros was $550 for chroming the rims, and CC was $600 but Chrome Pro's wanted $195 to polish the rotors when CC was $100. The turn around time quoted from Chrome Pros was 3-4 weeks and Classic Componets was 2 weeks. So it was cheaper for me to go with Classic Components.
The guy at the local shop said he sends all his stuff to CC. He is going to handle everything for me. He is stripping the tires bearings, and races, shipping the stuff out for me to CC. When he gets them back he is going to reinstall the bearings, races and rotors, mount and balance the tires for $875
They went out Monday

I've been waiting for this one. Please post the pictures for all of us to enjoy. I thought they'd be killer chromed the first time I saw them. Hope you're as pleased with ChromePros as I was. They do GREAT work....

I had my wheels, engine covers and other misc. parts done by Chrome Pros Plating. The wheels were flawless but the other parts weren't so great. If I had to do it again I would try someone else. They took longer than they quoted due to "contamination" in the chrome tank, when I did get the parts back the outer primary had some bad pits in it. Randall finally agreed to replate it after I threw a fit, they claimed the part was flawed. It was "spotted" from some cleaner but didn't have any pits in it. My .02
