Triumph have some nice shiny chrome wheels as an option for the T'bird.

Does anyone know if someone makes an aftermarket set for the RIII or a company that would strip and chrome a standard set of RIII wheels?
I've had one quote from a guy in the UK who can get them from a US company but GBP2,500 seems a bit excessive.
 
Every set of chrome wheels I've ever had both car and bike, never held air worth a ****.
I was told that the reason for this is that over time the chrome pops away from the alloy in places and the air escapes between the chrome and alloy. They do look good, just keep a close eye on the pressures. If I ever go chrome again, I'll install a remote pressure monitoring system.
There are alot of chroming companies in California, I wouldn't recommend the one I used last time.
