Fat Spoke Wheels
I am looking to change out my wheels on my 2015 Deluxe. I have seen a lot of pictures of 21 and 18 inch front wheels. Has anyone replaced their wheels and kept the the 16 inch front and rear wheel size. Pictures of how it looks would be helpful. I was wondering what manufacturer people find to be the best quality of wheels is it ridewright, DNA or whom. I was wondering if anyone had experience metal sports wheel M22. Thanks for your help in advance....

Sorry no pictures of the 16" to share but we have done a couple in the past and with white wall tires they look great IMHO. We sell the Sinister brand of fat spokes which we feel is the best quality and best company out of the fat spoke companies. Since we ship worldwide companies like DNA won't work since they make so many mistakes and their product is not on the level of Sinister or Ride Wright.

Good wheels overall, however v.heavy and steel spokes/nipples rust if not continuously cleaned up. Personally wouldn't get them again since keeping them rust free was a bi-weekly chore. if you are really set on the look, get nipples/spokes powder coated black.

Had Ride Wrights Fat 50's on my street bob.

thanks for the great info! I really like the look of spokes BUT, don't want to be constantly cleaning.
Your bike looks awesome!

No problems at all.
The bike is now gone, traded it for new Fat Bob 2 weeks ago.
IMHO, the Deluxe only really "works" with spoke-wheels. I understand that the Harley wheels also rust if not regularly cleaned, so not sure if there is a better alternative.
Let me know what you'll end up doing as I would imagine most Deluxe/Heritage owners will have this issue?
