Id buy em, Ive always heard to get triple plated, so 2 more layers should be better. Id be absolutly sure your rims are up to par, thats the only thing that could trip ya up IMO

From the looks of the ad i think once they receive mine they send me already chromed ones. So hopefully the ones he has chromed were in mint condition... This is just something for me to ass to the mod list. I really want Carrozzeria wheels but this is about 1300 cheaper :poke:

CZ's:bowdown:

But yeah, $1300 can be used other places, and I like the black chrome anyway.

This practice is somewhat common with cars, and yes he has already finished a pair ready to swap (or more). Personally I'll keep my factory black.
A bit of chain lube will inevitably collect dirt and look bad.
I do keep my bike clean and indoors, but it's more for riding than appearance.

doesnt collect dirt and cleans the chain as well as lubricates it, problem solved. Just look at Sleepless Red's sickeningly clean busa... :puke:

I now use it but my chain was way bad but is progressively getting better. When i swap chain and sprocket will be when it looks pristine

Russell. Cool man, have you taken your rims off yet to FedEx in for the exchange? Or will that be a weekend task?

Try Side by Side Racing in Reidsville NC, they've been doing chrome wheel exchanges for a long time and have everything in stock. My freinds and I have had bikes done there over the years. Ride in, pay, about 30-45 minutes later, ride away. It's much easier to spend money this way:laugh:
