restlessNR Posted April 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 haha i think it would look good just not sure how good with a can of flat shake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollywood3586 Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 its wayyyyy cheaper to powder coat them, plus its more durable. There is a place here in akron that qouted me $20-$25 per rim. I am all for a murdered out bike (all black) but i also LOVE the chrome on the vrod's. But whatever you decide good luck... =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
