Default Smooth Laced Wheels?

I was talking to a dealer today about an 08 RKC that they have ordered. The color I am interested in buying will have the optional 'Smooth Laced Wheels' I was told. This has to be the $450 'Profile Laced Aluminum Wheels' as it is listed on the Harley website. I don't have a dealer very near to me so I can't run down and take a look at the difference in laced wheels. Clicking on the optional wheels on the Harley website doesn't give a very good indication of how they would look on a bike. I know this is subjective, but I would like some opinions on who likes them and how much difference to theyseem to givethe bike in looks. Thanks.

Yup, that is what they are on HD's website "Chrome Profile Laced Wheel", my signature below has these wheels. Hopefully it will help you picture them better. Rather than having a ridge across the wheel, they are smooth.

I like the Chromed Profile Laced Aluminum wheels, and here is another picture (although not that great).

There smooth all the way across, and they seem toreceive a lot of positive comments.

The profile wheels arethe way to go, real clean looking. I also have them on my Road King and love the way they look.

I had them put on my 2007 Heritage. I really like the smooth look.

You can see them in my Sig Pic (kinda). I'll try to find and post a close-up pic.

Okay, here is the best close-up pic I have of the Profile Laced Wheel.

Sorry, It may be a little too BIG.
