Fat spoked wheels.... Help
I want to get Fat Spoked Black Wheels with Black Spokes. Can you guys please give me some advice. What brand should I look for and what should I lookout for? I want to stay with 16" for front and back. I've seen some on EBay and I'm not sure of the quality. Please help me out. If it makes a difference I have a '13 Heritage. Thanks Again.

I have the Sinister Big Phat Daddy wheels with black spokes (chrome wheels, hub, etc.) on my Softail Deluxe. The black spokes look great and are much easier to keep clean compared to the chrome spokes. HogPro is a sponsor and sells the Sinister wheels. Ron

from all the reading I've done I'm sure the more expensive ones are worth it if you can swing it....if I were do it I'd prob have to use the cheaper ones....seems like the cheapies are hit or miss...8 or 9 out of 10 do ok with them it seems. I'd like to know how they look after a few years on the bike compared to the more expensive ones. I want to ditch the the tubes if I change wheels.

these wheels look heavy....are they? if so does the extra weight affect anything like handling/breaking/acceleration?

I also ride a CVO Ultra so a few extra pounds on a Softail due to larger wheels are virtually unnoticeable. 😂

We sell Sinister brand ones and they have the best quality and finish IMO. Main thing I would avoid with any spoke wheel is having them done tubeless. We have seen way to many sealed wheels leak over the years so stick with tubes if you can. Any questions just shoot me a PM.
