Title: wheel rims chroming of
Post by: 59viperman on March 13, 2013, 09:53:46 PM: ;D does anyone have an idea as to the average cost of having a pair of rims re~chromed? mine are not bad slightly pitted but I am painting the tank and panels and the wheels will spoil what is a very tidy bike.

Yes, but will their chrome have the same quality, or start to peel off in foreseeable future?
