Default These wheels. Yes or No?

I'm throwing this out to you guys so what do you think? Or keep the spokes? I included current brake/rotor setup a future swing arm pic and if your good at photo choppin,a decent pic for that. They'd be 18's btw. (same)

I honestly prefer the look of spokes, i think either one would look good but if you're not makin too much hp/tq, I'd stick with spokes.

i noticed a difference in ride after booting my spokes. everything is tighter but, it seems like every bump is meaner. i have no technical terms to support what I'm saying but, my butt and arms can confirm.

if you like them, go for it

My eyes were bleeding I looked at so many damn wheels before I came across their site. They seem to have been around a while in some form or another.http://ftdcustoms.com/categorys/_199_12_0_0_0.html

I can honestly say that you have one of my top three favorite bikes on here. I'm actually torn with the thought of doing something similar with my bike. Not an exact copy, but certainly borrowing from your bike.

I think I like the spokes, but I really have to see the other wheels on the bike to know. Maybe a photoshop wizard can help you out.

Just as a side question, do you remember where you bought your bars from? I seem to recall that they are made is Australia and are made by Nash, but I could be mistaken.

To me, the Banshee wheels look plain, nothing special. The fact that you can run tubeless with the Banshee is a plus. I really like the smooth profile spoke wheels.

Have you checked out these non spoke wheels?
