Hey Guys,

Has anyone decided to Chrome the stock 9 spoke RK rims and run wide white walls?

My RKC has the 9 spokes & blackwalls on it, and I would like to take it more classic. Not sure I could get away with keeping the 9 spokes though...I really like that option better than moving into a stock 40 spoke and dealing with tubes.

Do you think a classic bike requires spoked (40+) wheels?

Thanks.

Nah, the 9 spokes look good chromed. Worth it not to have to mess with tubes. I just had mine powder coated black and the wide whites arrived yesterday. Couldn't justify the cost in my mind for chroming them. Hope it looks good, I'll know this week!

 

There's a few places that will do an exchange for chromed wheels. One of the companies can be found here:

I've not purchased from them, but when I've sent them e-mail asking if they would swap me the stock FLHX wheels for the the 9 spoke, he was quick to respond and was willing to do it. So they just might be a good company to deal with.
