I'm almost positive there's at least a plater or two in Chicago. Google it and see what happens!

There's a guy on ebay that has an exchange program. He sends you a stock plated wheel, then you send him your old one. He does other parts too.

How far from St. Louis. These guys are good....in the area you can just walk in. They have a price list on their web page but I didn't see wheels.

I've done a few projects w/ Joe at ***** Shiny. http://www.willyshiny.com/ He's got a cool thing going where he cleans up brembo calipers then powder coats. http://www.ebay.com/itm/HARLEY-BREMB...#ht_913wt_1362 About to do mine blue. I'd give him best marks.
