Is ebay going to be the best place for good deals for chrome wheels or does anyone else know of a good web site to use?

 

Dude, don't chrome your wheels. That makes them extremely heavy and if you got a C- in Physics you'd know that a the hevier a rotating mass is, the more gyroscopic force it has. You chrome those wheels, and it'll be 10 times harder to turn. If you want to bling those wheels, polish the aluminum.

 

I dont think you know waht your talking about

this is what i did for my 02 954.. did the exchange process they are fast and rims look really good!

 

Knightslugger is 100% correct.

 

they might be a little heavier and yes more weight.. longer to stop and so on but i have had chrome rims and drove seveal bikes with chrome rims.. it is NOT 10 times hard to turn... and polished aluminum takes FOREVER to do.. doens't look as good and alot harder to upkeep.. you will not notice anything with chrome rims..

 

Heaven forbid you actually have to DO something to get the results you want...

If all you're doing is riding in town and in a straight line, you probably wont notice it. However, if you're doing some back road carving of any sort, it becomes a very large burden. Think about it a little harder. It's all about physics and isn't debatable. I've seen quite a few aluminum polish jobs that look just as shiny as chromed wheels do. If you think it looks like **** after you're done, then you aren't doing it correctly.

 

Haha, this is the same guy from the forced NWS gps thread. What a dipstick. bobjoezx - Darwin award nominee

 

chrome looks way better then polished everytime.. second.. if you are having troubles turning and you are blaming it because you have chrome rims.. you have some problems.. i mean how much weight are you really adding because of the chrome

TheX .. do you anything intelligent to say

 

bobjoezx definetly getting darwin award here. It's not the difficult turning the bike, it's that the increased gyroscopic force can lead to an unstable ride. Aka getting that resonating shake on the highway or coming out of a hard turn and tank slapper here ya come.

polish the rims, chrome is for florida riders with those ugly *** extended swingarms.

 

i am not debating physics noram i saying put shiny *** chrome wheels and parts on a race bike.. i am saying that for what a regular person does on a sportbike is not goin to affect his riding style, and second he wants chrome.. he wanted advise on prices and where..so i told him...
