Besides the fact ya better hope the chromer is very reputable and knows what the hell they are doing, billet is more work I won't argue there BUT,,,,, if it gets scratched pitted etc it can be filed sanded and polished to look brand new that's not an option with chrome, my wheels next to chrome wheels look identical:whoop::chopper:

My wife's 07 heritage has chrome wheels and they still look new after over 30 some thousand miles. Her 2011 heritage has over 34,000 and is still pretty clean. I guess it boils down to how they are treated.the streetglide chrome looks like it did the day I bought it. What we need to find out is who the he'll does the Harley chrome.

I was just thinking the similar route in Finland. Was sitting in the garage looking that honda 600 shadow bobber I made to my friend last year. The bike is 1993 DeLuxe model (more chrome). The chrome on that bike is like it was made yesterday ! And that was not a show bike, just used 23 year old bike! Now I look pitting chrome on my K9 . Quality makes me sad. I have a beer.
