Damn, Zed. Now my feelings are hurt. I want to brighten the appearance of my bike. It's the yellow, lots of black accents. It just seems too dark. Thought about polishing the rims, and some other stuff. but if I can swap for chrome, it's all good to me.

chromes a good solution for adding bling and doesnt need polishing as often as aluminum but i dont like it on wheels. makes them heavier and can make em hard to ballance. its not always a problem and does look nice. just make sure they ballance good before remounting them. make sure a chromer that has done wheels before does them. something about needing to rotate them in the tank or something so it plates more evenly.

You’re standing on my foot, Neil… lol..

Mac, I’m in no hurry. Just thought I’d throw my hand up. Columbus.. too cool. We may be able to work this out cheaper and quicker, if you want.

I have family in Akron, and we get together and play on the OH river around Parkersburg. I could plan to make a trip up. And we could meet at the junction of 70 & 77. I would prefer to do this.

Would you take a couple pics of the rims.. couple wide, and a couple close ups. Send them to cleveland_cleveland@hotmail.com .

We are just like monkeys, they are attracted to shiny things too!
