I have Profiles on my EG Classic right now, and they do look much better than the standard laced wheels.

On the RKC I like them but I like the older style on a Heritage.

Wish I had spent the extra money for them. I do think they look better than the standard issue. It is a subtle improvment but it is better

Hopefully the pics above will help but it really pays to see them in person. To each his own but I just can't stand them. IMHO, they are too smooth. Unless it was a great deal, I couldn't pay extra for a bike with them.

If I could do it over again I would have included them on my 06 FLSTC.

I have them on my 1200C and they look great, but more importantly to me (Hawaii Weather) they are easier to clean and dry with no place for water to sit and pool and rust my rims.

They look great and are easier to clean than the old style laced wheels (had them on my '03 Super Glide). See my sig pic.... and here's a close'em up...

[sm=dontgetit.gif]I guess it must be the pictures because I can't tell (from the pictures) the difference between them and the laced wheel on my 1991.
