If I had to do it over again, I would do what Malingerer did, Id go 21/18. The 18 rear just looks crazy, love the look. But, if you decide to run the 18 rear WW, you will have to have a 18WW made by DB.

For me it was basically matter of choice on showing tire or spokes in that gap in between the rear fender and the rotor/pulley (at riding height)... simple.

Mimo.

here's a quick shot of my bike with the 21/16 set. i have the option of going to a 21/18 set when it comes in, the only difference is that it's a black rim with chrome spoke. i'll try to get more pics with better light later...Go Giants!

I run the 21/18 and l love the bigger wheel look. When it is slammed the 18" looks a lot better cause you don't see the tire..

Don't get me wrong...I LOVE the way it looks too, but my original order was for a 21/18 black with chrome spoke...but the black with chrome nipple is starting to grow on me. Basically it's keep the black and roll with the 16 or go with the chrome and black with the 18. or maybe i can see if my indy would be willing to get a 18 rear all black.
