Chrome Plating Aluminum Wheels a Bad Idea?
I see the 2010 Ultras have chrome plated wheels and they look good. I wonder if any of you had problems with chrome plated aluminum wheels leaking air? I have a Cadillac that has them and they leak air because over time the chrome cracks creating small fissures that let the air slowly leak out an dit's a real pain.
Ride well,

I suspect that your leak problem is the result of a poor chrome plating job rather than a factor of being aluminum wheels! I have had several aluminum car wheels chrome plated and presently have chrome plated aluminum wheels on my TG and never had a problem with any of them cracking or leaking air!
