So.. I'm not all about black black and black with a hint of gloss black and I'd dearly love some chrome rims for my 2015 WideGlide. A few people have mentioned its just cheaper to purchase the entire hub/wheel/spoke pre assmebled wheel from HD than to just replace the rims with aftermarket.. What say folk on here? (keep in mind im mechanically ..err.. 'limited'. Are certain brands better than others?
Looked into exactly that also for my '15 wide glide... (not a fan of black rims)
Then thought, how 'bout alloy rims laced to my existing hubs? (less unsprung weight & pretty cool looking?)
Only mob I could find that does alloys in W/Glide sizes were Central Wheel Components in UK..
They list... MORAD TC Alloy 21" x 2.5" x 40 hole (111.25 uk pounds) & 17" x 4.25" x 40 hole (141.67 uk pounds) + 100 uk shipping.
This equates to A$620 odd just for the rims.
I bought a chromed alloy rim from HD Wheels in the U.S with a set of stainless spokes. Was expensive but top quality. You could also get polished aluminiuim ones for a bit cheaper.
Only thing is you have to lace them up. If you can play the guitar as your avatar sugests then lacing up a rim should be a piece of piss.
Alternatively Walka on this forum from VPW might have a satisfactory option for you.
