I would do Chrome if you do the front Chrome. I'm actually doing the samething on mine I bought a HD reaper front wheel this summer and I'm getting thedeuce in chrome for the rear in a couple months. I find that wheels goes well with a lot of frontwheel style.

And the plot thickens, I just remembered the night train rear wheel has a polished lip with a black center. I'm thinkin if I chrome the lip and powder coat the center black that may be a very nice mix.

The magnum 5's already have a good mixture of black/chrome look to them. Just throw one on front and back. Bright chrome wheels on your bike will not look good.

I guess what I'm saying the front is definitely Chrome just need to figure out what to do about the rear...... please keep the ideas on the rear coming this is been a lot of help.

Mix the chrome and black on the wheels too.
On the rear - Chrome rim w/ blacked out center.
On the front - Relief Cut chrome and black center w/ chrome rims.

Just a thought.

That was my thoughts also. Reverse the stock rim look.
