Default New 18" Fatbob wheels! (Stingers)

The threads on here pass so fast so maybe I missed it. If I didn't then I'll share them with you.
I just found these on the stealers web site tonight. I like them better then the new 09 wheels but don't know if I'd give up my factory wheels. The aluminum mag was a big factor in choosing my Fatbob.

Meh. I've always found the wheels to be one of the defining characteristics on the Fat Bob. I'd have a tough time changing them unless it was to the Fang CVO wheels.

Yep you missed it. There was a post two weeks ago about the wheels.

I can't help myself man that looks beautiful! {There's no way I could part with 1500$ for that right now though} : - {

Most guys want to know if those fangs can be removed for storage!!

I like the Fat Bobs okay, but I don't understand the attraction to the wheels. You can hardly see the front wheel with the dual discs (not saying dual discs are a bad thing) ... and with the pulley and disc, the rear wheel is obscured, too. I don't remember who, but someone has some awesome gloss black powdercoated wheels, that are noticeably better IMO.

I think with the 18" wheels you have a greater area behind the discs to show off vice 16" wheels. ... Just my $0.02

Finally downloaded that photo of the silver (pewter?) Fat Bob with the 18" Stingers ... that looks great ... that bike has some kick-a$$ mods!
