I think that if you get a good chromer then there will be no problem. Also the upkeep of the chrome wheels are easier than the polished ones "IMHO". hey bro how much did they charge you to chrome your wheels, i'm definitly gonna throw the bling on my 06 1300r i think that style of rim would look perfect chromed out do you have a pic of yours

I know polished wheels, so I've heard, are a pain in the rump to maintain and keep nice looking. Has anybody polished their wheel and then shot clear coat over them to retail the luster? I know if you shoot it over some things, such as chrome silver paint, it will change the color abit. Chrome silver changes to a bright silver gray that is really a neat color for truck wheels and such but what does it do to polished alumin? AL
I noticed that when I put a light coat of wax on my polished forks and wheels the shine last a little longer..cuts down the oxidation considerably..I ride on the beach probably every weekend..so I have to stay on top of it even more..usually I just get some eagle one "never dull" and it cleans up like new..Cool vids bgreer..I tried spraying clear on some mirrors I had and they lasted a little while but the rust still came back..guess youd have to prep the wheels really good and use a high quality clear to seal out oxidation.

I use McGuires Gold Class and like I said in the video, it last about a month without significant breakdown...I just wait till its rainy or cold and polish them again....if you spent 30 min. in my house with Patti, my mother-in-law and Patti's daughter and her 2 yr. old...you'd be out in the shop with me polishing bikes...Oh, and I do have a lock on the inside
