You realy need to call Sandy...I'm almost possitive that they can machine the weld from the outside of the rim so it doesn't show, they weld the wheels from both sides, and you can chrome it when you are done. I can also tell you from experience, that depending on who's kit you buy it may hit the exhaust canister, that is why most big tire riders run a sidewinder or boz exhuast, ext... I had a yosh pipe on my bike and it wouldn't fit right with the big tire kit, not enough clearance to miss the swingarm, I would have had to bend a new exit pipe for the exhaust and build a special spacer. You'll find out these things the hard way, like I did, nothing is ever bolt on in the custom world, even when advertised as bolt on.
