Galespeed Chromed ?

[ROD]

I have a set of polished Galespeed wheels but because im a lazy prick i am thinking of having them chromed or painted any sugestions of what to and not to do

Depending on chroming process (thickness), might pay to screw some blanks into the disc carrier bolt holes to keep chrome out of threads or be prepared to run a tap through after process. Getting chrome on the wheel bearing seating areas & disc carrier to wheel seating flange also is a known headache causer...dremel time involved here......ask GDYUP

Elbow grease Rod, just like a Wife high maintenance
The Galespeeds I just got for my new one are gold, (simmo riding not polishing)
If you get them chromed a lot of care will have to be taken when getting new tyres fitted also.

Hey Busa-Rod how about electro-plating it has a chrome type finish and looks mint.
My mate has just done his wheels on a 86 black & gold hypersport GSXR1100 and looks very nice in need.
I've been told it's a bit like power coating and I know if I'm going to do anything with a set of wheels I'm going to get this done. My mate has had them on the bike a couple of months now and has mentioned that they give the appearence of a polished wheel but have the ease of cleaning like powder coating.

It cost him about $1200 with postage ( This was from WA to East )
