Default Spoke Wheels

I love the look of the thicker spokes but don't want the look of the 21" wheels. Is there an option for thicker spokes with a closer to stock wheel size?

Fat spokes are available in 16" and 18" sizes as well. I can get you a set if you need. PM or call for info please.

Ive always thought spokes look great, but they are a mother to keep clean.

Break out the polish, but they do look good

I had spokes on several bikes prior to choosing a mag wheel on my last two bikes. Wow, mags are really easy to clean. Spokes take a little more time but they look so good when they are perfectly clean.

a soft round dusting brush makes it easy to get between the spokes with soapy water:

A buddy uses this from Griot's Garage on his Softail and cars. They're microfiber wheel wands and says it works great on his bike.

I know all the tricks for spokes and they are still more work than I am willing to anymore. But like I said above, nothing looks as good as a fat spoke with a white wall.
