Default Thinking of doing a wheel exchange

I did a front fork exchange on my 2012 Ultra Classic with Impress Plating & Polishing. Good company and was very satisfied. I am thinking of doing a wheel exchange on the same bike. I was wondering if anyone has good pictures of their bike after doing an exchange. I will be exchanging the 28 spoke wheels for chrome ones. The pics of the bike with 28 spoke wheels on their website aren't very good.

Thanks to anyone that can help.

I love the look of the chrome 28-spoke wheels! I also have polished, stock rotors.

Here ya go...

The Chrome wheels are much easier to clean and keep clean than the stockers.

Agree.... that's why I've got tubeless wheels!

These are very easy to keep clean; sometimes
I use the power-washer at the car wash, sometimes
I use a wash-mit and they're clean in no time.

No, I've got the chrome rear wheel too. If I decide to swap out the front wheel, I'll leave the rear wheel as it is.

Thanks Tim! I was pretty amazed how much it changed the appearance as well... and yes, Chrome Pros does a great job!
(Both wheels and front rotors from them!)
