Lol, I have been shopping ebay for the heck of it.

Anyone ever see these or have them yet?
Stock chrome wheels either all chrome or powder coated with black center.

I really like the spoke wheels, but if I end up with the mags, I wanted to know, is this a good price? And has anyone experienced them?

The one with black center looks sharp. I wouldn't mind something like that on my Ultra. It would look good all black too.

Not bad, but if I were going through the expense of chrome wheels or custom wheels, I would want something different than stock. Or at least from a different model, say chrome UC wheels on my RG...or Chrome RG wheels on my UC...but that's me....

True, but for that price, it's much more reasonable than say a 2,500 dollar set of aftermarkets!
One thing, they want identical wheels in return for the core. (Unless approved in advance) so going something different may be hard. Maybe buy/steal a set of stocks like you want off ebay? Who knows.
Just wondered if anyone had seen them before....

You can get a set chromed from ChromeProsPlating for less than $700. They do exchange or actually do your wheels. They did my 9-spoke stokers into chrome for $550, and they have held up great. No chips, peeling, or flaking. I'm very pleased with them.

I must admit those (the black center) are some of the nicest I have seen but I prefer the old school look of spokes myself.

that particular company offers a 3 year warranty on the rims, while most only offer 1 year... also I would love to hear if anyone knows how that painted section of the rim will hold up over time....

But I agree they look pretty cool, considering the price, as aftermarket rims cost mucho money!

We did an exchange with Impress Plating and the wheels looks great on the Ultra. We also got the front lowers and upper cans. They have competetive prices and their chrome quality is excellent. Look at their feedback, you wouldn't be disapointed.

Those are some sweet looking wheels, and not a bad price either.
