Default Wheel suggestions

I'm getting really tired of cleaning/waxing the spokes. Anyone got some suggestions for a replacement wheel for a Heritage?

Stock Fatboy wheels would probably be the easiest to keep clean, Chief

He is a Chief...all they do is drink coffee...make sure everyone is doing what they are supposed to be doing and wax their spokes... Hey Chief, what you should do is get an E-3 to do it for you

I personally like the Harley mirror chrome Thunderstars, but at over $800 each they are outta my price range. I have the 6 spoke black slotted Harley wheels on my Heritage nd the don't look too terribly bad. Am seriously considering at the next tire change, reinstalling my OEM wheels and sending these out to be chromed.
