Realtively new to the site and love it. Can't stop reading all the posts. Wanted everyone's opinion and pics of chromed out rims. I personally don't like the black rims on our bikes and love the look of chrome. I've heard that the added weight is so minimal that so long as I'm not a hard core track/twisties guy I would never notice the difference. Looked in the polished look but really like the chrome. Pics and comments please!

Thanks.

 

chroming weakens the metal, but guys with chrome usually just ride chilled so i don't think that would be an issue.

 

Chrome goes on Harley's.. All show no go.

 

my 06 came with chrome rims...i think it looks pretty good with the blue/black color scheme.

 

all the f4i's are blingn for sure. ha ha.

 

No ****, chrome is for Harleys. What's next, some leather tassles for your handle bars?

 

dstars166, can you post some pics? My buddy has the 06 and want to do the same.

 

Chrome don't get you home! (an old mantra one of my 4x4 buddies used to say about bling).

Now repeat after me POWDER COAT GOOD, CHROME BAD, CARBON FIBER GOOD, CHROME BAD!

 

i would just polish for the bling look and then HIGHLY polish it and then coat it...so it looks like chrome but not!
actually i wouldn't do anything, i like the dirty look.

 

Hey, i was watching the latest AMA Superbike race.......all the bikes had chrome wheels.....most all them wrecked for the gleem of the sun off the wheels.......Chrome is for show.....Dont see my bike sitting/showing at Nopi or a wal-mart parking lot on Memorial Day Weekend.sorry but thats my opinion...
