I found them on another website for 849 but still no picture. I emailed them & requested one. I figure they cannot be the same ones (current stock) but chromed because the cureent stk ones run nearly 1400. I'll reportback if I get anything back...

Triumph OEM Chromed wheels, I hope they are done properly, with all the hassle Triumph have had in the past with Chrome issues..

Not 100% sure if you guys are talking about chromed one piece rims or different spoked rims, but I'm going to jump in anyways (you might give me a stink about it).
But I really like the looks of the classic spokes once they are all polished and shined up, and I've seen "Kits" and exchanges for a wider rear rim, but I really don't like the cost of those services. I was talking to a local bike shop who specializes in customs (mosty HD of coarse but would love to work on a Triumph again) and he said he could re-string the rear wheel for about $250 + Parts providing it is a "normal" spoke pattern. Which leads me to my question cause I really couldn't say for sure, but are our spokes standard or are they goofey (the more intricate the longer it will take the guy and the more pricey it will get)?

I am having my Solid Cast BMW wheels (17 & 18 inch) Chromed for $450.00.  Wire wheels would be something else.

Triumph has a part # for both speedmaster & america but triumph said the america are being made now. The speedmaster ones will be a little longer from what I was told. Krista is the parts person & service writer. Me Chy & JOHN are service techs. Myra is the front end manger. We can all help with any needs you have & reminder you get 10% off. Matt is sales manger.

We just got a set in. The chrome seems a lot better than their other chrome bits.

I'm planning to powdercoat my SM rims red sooner or later and the trip trees and lower legs black.
