That's a 21" wheel you have on there isn't it?

Personally, I like the twisted spoke wheels, just makes all the more obvious that it is a custom accessory.

I think the twisted spokes look great!

Dang, that is skinny. Have you considered the radial spokes?

NEITHER GO with a FAT twisted or ribbed but go with a FAT spoke... HD wheels makes em... get stainless of course... i have had my twisteds for about 2 years and LOVE THEM just wish i would have gone with the fatty twisteds they have now
there is a few fellas on here with a 21 twisted on thier wide glides as well... a Ripple spoke and Dimond spoke also ROCK!!!! if you do not go fat, go dimond!

Jackyl, this is a 21" 80 spoke twisted wheel from Jireh Cycles (Midwest) that cost me about $110:

I like smooth spoke personally...
Joe those are the best pic. I have ever seen of your bob... the lighting really shows off your gloss work and the covers you matched up look real good! The wheel stripe would be really cool in your cherry color.

I like those wheels.... 110.. that seems pretty reasonable.
