Default Opinions please...

Earlier today I was on a lunch break speed run to the in-laws house to talk to a contractor. On the way down, blasting down the i75 racetrack at triple digits here in lawless SWFL, I came off the ramp I saw a Road Glide ST at a light on the other side of the road. Those bronze wheels really caught my eye.

I had it in my head I'd eventually replace the boring wheels that came on my King, with some black prodigy's, until I saw the bronze versions. Now I'm thinking a little change of plans may be in order. So I used my feeble photoshop skills (I really just threw this together in 10 min, I know it looks like ****) and made a mockup of what my King might look like with them, and I'd like your opinion. I was also thinking the gold B&S from my Dyna Low Rider S would go nicely (if they are still available that is...)

So I can Leave it alone (not very likely), go with Bronze wheels and keep the silver bar and shield, or Bronze wheels, with the gold B&S. Or the original black wheel plan (which I didn't mock up)

Here is it as of today:


Bronze/Silver


And finally, Bronze/Gold


I'm really leaning towards the Bronze/Gold iteration, but that is completely dependent on whether the medallions are still available. I have my buddy checking into it.

But I'd like your thoughts

Thanks all

If it were me, I'd spend the money on hotels and gas.

Thanks, don't worry about the money. Not part of the question.

Looks good either color, but I bet your stock rims would look killer in that Bronze or Gold...

Thanks, I'm leaning hard that way too. I just don't know if those medallions are still available yet.

Hmm, why didn't I think of that. Powder would be a hell of a lot cheaper then new wheels... Back to photoshop.
