Default FatBob King Spokes, Can't decide
OK, Going to get some of the Ultima King Spoke wheels for my FatBob. I know I want black and chrome but I can't decide whether I should go chrome for the rims and hubs with black spokes...OR the opposite, black rims/hubs and chrome spokes. I'm kinda leaning towards chrome for the rims...I've currently got a mix of Redhot Sunglow, black & chrome (see sig pic)

BTW: I'm going to stay with the 16" diameter rims since I like that look. I know it's my bike and I ultimately decide, blah blah blah...but any opinions are welcome....Fire away!

Man I am not a fan of spoked wheels but those look very good. A chore to clean but sharp wheels.

Those wheels are my next purchase. I am just a worry wort and won't actually buy them till I hear a few reviews. They are a new release and they look awesome for sure, I just want to hear from a few people who have run their grubby little hands over a set before I pull the trigger. Please give us a review when you choose. Just to help out, I think your bike would look best with black hoops and chrome spokes.

My vote is 16 inch chrome/chrome. I believe your bike has enough chrome on it to tie in with full chrome wheels very nicely.
