This is obviously a personal opinion as every other person who will reply...
So here goes...

Mags look gay on Harleys... There... I said it.

The best lookin rims i have found that still look good are the "HD Profile rims" ... Smooth and cool.

All these god awfull mag rims with spiderwebs or thunderbolts or intricate "tribal" jazz is going to be SOOO dated and look wrong after a huge dollar investment.

ONLY rims i would consider buying? The carbon fibre 5 spokes but they are $3600 a set.

I don't know much about being gay so I'll have to take your word on that If you wanna see what a LARGE range of wheels look like on a bike then check out www.wanaryd.com which has a great thing that builds a pic of popular Harleys with the wheel of your choice.

PS: I'll let Harley know that the Rocker C is gay too after reading this thread....

I'm not much into a lot of these modern rims, but if you're into the "modern look", I'd go with the Czar Wheels. The tribal look on the Savage already looks dated and annoying. They'll take away from the rest of the bike...or hypnotizepeople as you ride by. At least with the Czars they look less cluttered and clean.

You'll need to add some more black accents to the bike though. Know what would look good with the Czars? Gimp hangers.They have the same kind of angles as the rims.

By the way, the Rocker is gay (ugly) looking. Hey let's bring out a chopper wanna-be when the chopper market is dead. Duh! Plus, couldn't they come up with a better design. A butt-load of "chopper" builders out there and they come up with that? Ugh!

Quote "rockerhead" - Can you spell H O M OP H O B I C ?

You just did.

If your asking wether or not to go with the "Black Inserts" or just stick with all "chrome",
I think they did a great job with these wheels.The accents look great to me.
You do have a "Black and Crome" motor.

Take a look at the Hogpro website as they have heaps of pics of bikes with mags.

Personally i like spokes on a Harley (as you can see from my sig) but have seen some nice rims out there,Performance Machine wheels look great but quite pricey.Just get the matching rotors and pulley whatever you get.

This fatty looks nice,not sure what they are but one sweet lookin ride me thinks.
