Bought rotors and rotor bolts from KC. Great quality and fit. The only drawback was the fact that they are slower than shi% when it comes to shipping. I got the rotor bolts in three days, but took almost three weeks to get the rotors. Came from different location they said. Hmmmm.

Your&nbsp\\;Right About KC Getting From A Different Location, My Wheels Came Right From DNA&nbsp\\;And There Slow As Shi% Also Ha Ha Ha,, But Nice Stuff [sm=bling.gif]

Here are a few pics of my Ride Wright 50 Spoke Fat Daddy Wheels. I sat down with Sam at Ride Wright&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;when i was at Bike Week and we came up with a great color combo. I decided to pull the trigger and got them a few weeks ago. Took less than an hour to install the front and about 3 hours to do the rear because i was being **** about my belt alignment. Everything fit perfect and i couldn't be happier.
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;
I agree that you get what you pay for. All of their wheels are sealed&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;for tubeless tires and the quality is 2nd to none. Every wheel that leaves there is perfect. I get more compliments on this bike then i do on the custom chopper i built.

Front
21x3.5"&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;Custom "Black Cherry" Powder-Coated Spokes.
Metzeler 120/70/21 Tire
Custom 2-piece Floating Rotor with the center powder-coated "Black Cherry"&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;

Rear
18x4.25"&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;Custom "Black Cherry" Powder-Coated Spokes.
Metzeler 160/60/18 Tire
Custom 2-piece Floating Rotor with the center powder-coated "Black Cherry"
Custom Pulley&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;with the center powder-coated "Black Cherry"&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;

Later,
AO

I've decided if I'm going with spokes wheels I'd have to get them with a "smooth" rim. I currently have the Harley Chrome Profile Laced Wheel and love the clean lip-less rim with no steps. People are surprise when I tell them they are stock. The only reason I would change them is for more spokes and larger size rim. That is why I like HDW wheels. They have the widest amount of options in wire wheels I have ever seen, from 40–120 spokes, twisted, fat, diamond cut, powder coated, and multiple spoke pattens – they can even put in a 360 Brake System or Perimeter Brake System.... check out their gallery.


Here are Harley Profile


Here are the HDW Apollo SL wheels:

OK.... I don't think they are cheap.
