I will be getting a 2007 street glide and wanted to put 100 spoke rims with white wall tires on it. Wanted to know the pros and cons on spoke rims

Congrats on the new bike. The pros on spoke wheels is that most people like the way they look. The cons are that you have to check the spokes regularly to make sure they aren't loose. They are also more susceptible to damage than cast wheels.

Welcome to the Forum from Colorado!
40 spokes are a pain to clean. Can't imagine trying to keep 100 clean! Probably look real cool though.
