does anyone know where you can get a set of chrome rims without an exchange for a decent price?

 

Check e-gay, craigslist and the forum's classifides.

 

yea i found a set that the guy wants 800 + shipping. Theyre fresh OEM rims just chromed. I dont know wheather to keep mine and polish them or pwdercoat them or get chrome ones??

 

Unless you have a use for two sets of rims, (street/track) wait 'till the weather gets ****ty and re-work the ones you have. Use the saved money elsewhere.

 

Having just gotten a bike with polished frame, swingarm, and rim lips. I'd personally prefer to have chrome. It's more durable with less upkeep IMO. Got caught in the rain 2x already and had to polish for 2 hours each time. The bling is nice, but I would rather people recognize me for my riding ability then for my pretty bike.

 

And the cost of chrome is rising also.

 

how is the up keep on chrome vs. powder coated??

 

Mistake I made was doing the "shiny" thing. I love the way my brothers bike came out with black and red and nothing shiny. But its your preference. Up keep isnt bad at all except my hands arent small so trying to get into the front wheel with the rotors there sucks

 

Someone told me that they had a problem with powder coating. They said that after a little while the powder coating starts to crack and flake off. I am considering getting chrome or polished rims, but I also like the way TK's rims look. IDK what is everyone elses opinion?

 

I would powder, if its done right it should last forever.
