Chrome rear wheel

Here is a link to a rear wheel (on e-bay) that has been chromed. Fits a 1300.

Is that an R model rim?

Yes

Watch the rim.....if they had someone who didn't know what they were doing and chromed the inside of the bearing area.....it's almost impossible to put bearings back in the rim. Chrome is too hard to grind out of the way and metal on the rims are too soft to do it accurately for it to work again. JMHO

Just email the seller and ask to send you pics of rim with bearings in the wheel....Close up pics too! The positive side of this is he has had a 100% rating. So, he should answer your questions and send you pics.

I was thinking of sanding and polishing mine until I can get the ones I really want. With the baby on the way I need to start being a little more conservative.
