Default Wire Wheels, Need your input!!
ok, looking to go the 180 route with back tire and I am seriously contemplating spoke wheels. Looking for advice on best set up some of you have found, or may be running. Twisted have caught my eye, but with so many options and not knowing much about them was hoping to find a set up that is dependable and cost effective. Thanks all!!

Definitely! I think the twisted spokes are pretty cool, they really add some bling to a spoked rim! And don't count out some fat daddy laced rims, they are sweet also.

Personally I would go with something that was powdercoated. Saw some on ebay that had the rim and the spokes coated with the nipples cromed. looked very good

How about the original profile alumnium rims, new take off's can be found on eBay.
