This is where I got the front wheel for my Fatboy from. They are in Oceanside California and make a good product. I got thier Fat 40 spoke laced wheel. Great chrome, stainless spokes, all for $600.00. They have alot of powder coat options too.

I got blackbike wheels. Top notch made to order. Powdercoated and chrome, billet hubs. I would say blackbike makes the best spoked wheels. Not many people know about them. They were the ones supplying all the wheels on the show build or bust.
