Default Street Bobs with billet wheels

MainHD, thought I didn't. I must havedownloaded a "few" pics of your bike when you first posted it. I think you got one of the bestlooking.....if not the best looking Street Bobs out there.I was thinking about black powder coated rims for awhile but after seeing your bike, it really inspired me to seriously look into getting some.Nice mixture of black and chrome.

Peace, Marcusg

Marcusg, If you do decide to go that route, check out HogPro, i had good luck with them. Also i made them do mine in a gloss black vs the satin black that they do the majority of thier black rims in.

Most Definitely. It seems Hogpro has the widestselection. MainHD, do you know if they mount, balance and ship ? cost ?Also what size will fit on the S-Bob in stockconfigurationbut also with some Progressive 412 11" installed. If I get the wheels, I like to go the "biggest" and "widest" possible without rubbing against anything or bottoming out. Thanks in advance.

marcusg, you can put an 18" x 5.5" rear whell on with a 180mm tire no problem. As to the front, they build the hubs to what front end you have so even going to a 120/70-21" wheel/tire like I have shouldnt be a problem.
