Default Typhoon Custom Wheel
I think these wheels are really hot looking. Love to put a set on the bob, but any beliefs as to why they're so inexpensive. It worries me coming from the moco.

Why complain?j/k

I was looking at these myself but want to go a different route eventually. Also, I thought they didn't offer the stock sizes for our bobs. I guess I'll have to look at them again. I really don't want a taller, thinner wheel up front.

I would be leary of the "polished chrome" comment. The more expensive wheels are chrome plated.

These are cast instead of billet. The price is about same as HD's other cast wheels. These are just the first ones offered for '06 and later Dyna's.

I wasn't looking at the chrome version. I was digging the black ones.

Polished chrome is chrome plated then had an additional polishing process done to it afterward. Polished chrome is generally more expensive that regular chrome plate. Look at the HD Thunderstar wheels for an example. There is black, chrome and "mirror chrome" The mirror chrome is the polished chrome version and is a good share more expensive than the regular chrome because of the hand work put into it.

Funny as I was at the dealer today and they had no wheels for my 07 FXDC unless I wanted to spend at least a grand plus a piece. Then I came home and checked the MOCO web site and saw the typhoons. I might go with them not sure yet. Don't want to drain the funds on wheels at the moment so they may be an option. I may wait until Laconia and hope a few wheel shops will be there with show prices and installs.
