well ive been thinking about flipping my front tires to make mine wider but iran into a problem. only one side of my rim is chromed. just need an opinion. shoud i go for look or width? my back is wider than front so i want to even them out.
 
that pic was from a 4 H atv rodeo and yes i'm from indiana and i love the colts that wasn't my tent though just somehow made it into the picture.
my rims are aluminum and i looked today and they are shony on both sides but the back side has never been polished
 
either relocate the valve stem to the other side or get sum 1 inch wheel spacers mine came with 1 inch wheel spacers so it flipped without relocating the valve stem.
 
wait does anyone have a pic of this up close ive been trying to figure out what he meant by flip and just figured it out now what does it look like lol
 
Heres what the flipped front rims look like. I pulled the stock valve stems out and put new valve stems in backwards, so where you put air in is inside the tire. Then on the other side of the rim I drilled a new hole and inserted a new valve stem like its suppose to be.

I haven't had any issues. You can also buy off-set front rims as well and they won't have the extra hole in them. My front aluminum rims are off-set ones.

Sorry, I just stumbled onto this thread. It looks like a few different setups here.
What size are those back tires?
And good job on your bike, that stance looks really good.
