The bearings have less then 600 miles on them.. NO need to be changed...You may wanna change your bearings since they're gonna be out. RSD put a good topic out about the bearings sucking a$$. He recommended getting dual-sealed bearings.

Oh, i will. ahaha..yeah...but you see what he's getting at, right? With the bearings only sealed one side, it builds up all that gunk and funky stuff.
Again it's up to you what you do...it's your bike. But I would recommend that since your wheels are off, it wouldn't hurt to make the switch.
Have fun blingin' those wheels, bro!
That is THE EXACT same thing i was going to do wiht my rims... So, you had them chromed, then you had them anodized??? Did sport chrome do the anodization?? They look REALLY good man.. I am also going with sportchrome also.. I am sending them out monday...Hey man I did mine and getting the races out sucks. I have friends thatown a shop there is a special tool to get them out they lent me the tool and helped me use it LOL. I reused my bearings but installed all new seals. Check out my wheels
Nice wheels!Hey man I did mine and getting the races out sucks. I have friends thatown a shop there is a special tool to get them out they lent me the tool and helped me use it LOL. I reused my bearings but installed all new seals. Check out my wheels
Another quetsion.. Once you go the rims back, did you have to prep the rim at all to get the bearings back in.. I mean did you have to grind some of the excess chrome out or was that already set up by sportchrome??Sorry Sportchrome did mine from cali I think its www.sportchrome.com
