I'm not really big on chrome, but those are pretty hot. That lip is sick.

Yes, I know she needs a bath. Yes, I know the tires are thirsty. I'll take care of that and take some real pics with the digital camera this weekend.

Wow, thanks for all the kind words. I really like them. It sucks having to slow your roll a bit because the tires look like o-rings. But worth it for the look I think. :D

Yea, 35 series tires can be kinda a pain to ride on, but they look great, so what's a few dodged potholes and train tracks? Looks good.

Damn, now I've seen a bunch of different custom color Widetracks; but this is the first chrome plated ones I've seen. I'm impressed. Good job.

Not sure about "plating" per se. These are coated by a process called PermaStar.
Here's the website. www.pacrims.com

I got the four of them chromed, with free pickup and delivery (their shop is 30 miles from here), for $530. Took about a week and a half.
