I like spokes but after 2+ years they are just too hard to keep cleaned. I just picked up a set of FXD mags and sent them off to be chromed. On a blacked out bike, getting the same wheels powdercoated is a nice option.

Those carbon fiber wheels are sweet and I know Ride Write laces some sick wheels also. But, I'm not trying to spend any money. If I go with the FXD mags it's an even trade for my spokes. And powder will only cost me about $50.

W O W That is AWESOME. Radial (Brembos?) on not one but TWO actual front Harley discs on a heavy cruiser. I bow down.

Ditto for the CF wheels. serious $$$$$$. Serious handling improvement no doubt.

I like joe's suggestion, but the stock wheel powdercoated black wouldnt be so hard to keep clean and would look good on you bike

[QUOTE=FATBOB67;4441566]JMO.........Don't like laced wheels. PIA and not handy when you have a flat!

My spokewheels are sealed, so no innertube... You can have the stock sealed.
