Thanks in advance

Chrome wheels are all over america they go from $800-3000 each so you look round you will find some nice ones. They make spinners to Wink

You must bear in mind that chrome does not go good with British weather. to much rain water can make the chrome fade. If your getin these they must be cleaned a lot of times a week Laughing

Hehe your very creative I must say Wink . Does it still give it a nice shiney effect? I've ordered my new fairings for my bike and they are getting sprayed black. Once thats done I'm ordering a Stainless Steel BlueFlame Dual Port race can and I kind of want the wheels to match the race can. Do you think it will?

Thanks in advance

If you keep it on your mantle piece, lovely.

Out in the real world, I doubt it.

Think of the fun you could have with the money in other ways Razz.
