40, 60, or 80 spoke wheel survey on my FXDWG
What do you think would look better 40, 60, 0r 80 spoke?I don't care about the cleaning aspect. I have stock 40 spoke that need to be replaced, so now is the time to change. I do want a custom look, but don't what anything that might break or go out of true real easily. Your opinion will be highly appreciated in helping with my decision. Thanks.

I like the looks of spokes too, Clif...
But the FIRST priority (if I was changing spoked wheels) is to replace the stock one with the rim/spoke combo that allows a tubeless tire to be mounted! THEN, I'd work within those confines to select the type of spoke and the number of them.
Just a consideration...

If cleaning is not a problem, go the Mud way, that is just an awesome looking wheel!

Yes those do look good mud. I have found a place that sells Ultima spoke wheels that are pretty reasonable in price and from what I have heard they are decent. Yes they are foreign, but I cannot afford $600 for 2 wheels. Instead I can get 2 chrome twisted 80 counts for $250. Ultima doesntmake any higher than 80 count but that look would be great for me. Thanks for the input guys.
