Powder-coat or Chrome wheels on my bike?

[04R1150RS]

How about another route, such as stripping the paint off the current rims and having them polished and clear coated?? I did that to my old K1100RS.

  On my R1150RS I've been slowly blacking out everything that is silver. The motor on the '04's are black so why not the rest. The foot pegs and mounts are black. I'd like to do the forks and rims too. Also the drive shaft and diff, but that may not ever be done.

Here are some pictures of the wheels (last 5 pictures at bottom of page) http://homepage.mac.com/callanje/PhotoAlbum5.html
Just to give you some idea of how things turned out:

got mine done in east hartford CT they ship at airborne coatings they have a site $75 a wheel one thing I would do differently is in the corners of the wheels the metal is bumpy I would polish any raw areas because the powder coat has come off the high spots just little specs but easy enough to rectify
