Those would look killer, but there is already a lot of black on your bike. I think the all chrome would really set it off. I am interested in seeing how an 18" looks on a fatboy. For anyone who is wondering, my wheels stock 16"s that have been chromed. The witewalls jsut make it look a little different. Dinger is my upgrade consultant 99% of the time. He has a good eye for what looks right. Hat's off Dinger, and oh yeah, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I think the 18's will suit my needs without having to get a new fender and paint it to match, etc. I don't want to over do the black, but then again I guess I can say the same about chrome too. Balance is best IMO.

+1 Wheels, probably one of the best mods to do. The right wheels will definitely set your bike apart from the rest.

Too bad your are leaning towards wheels... Oh well, that is why we all have our own bike our own taste and our own opinion. I would go performance before looks, my .02. But at least you will look cool while you are getting passed in the hills

Go for the power, followed by the wheels.
Thunderstars always look good, you don't have to run tubes in them either.

Are the wheels you are considering lighter than stock? If so, do the wheels (first

). Lighter wheels = lower unsprung weight... and lower unsprung weight translates into a bike that not only accelerates quicker, but stops and handles better too. A big bore, while fun, will do nothing to improve braking or handling.
