No I haven't even seen them yet. Its gonna be a surprise to all of us. I just called them and told them what I wanted and 3 weeks later here I am waiting for them to arrive from Cali. Go to hdwheels.com and you can look at a lot of wheels they have made and kind of get an idea. They were kinda pricey but I think they will be well worth it. It ended up being $3200 but I figure you are going to pay if you want something totally custom. I hope my tires come in around the same time so that I can get them put on ASAP. I'm also going with a 250 on the back so I will let ya'll know how that works out too.

i might beat you to the punch brother. both of my fenders are finished and are going out to paint on monday, the wheels are here and will be on the bike by the middle of next week. I stayed with the 240 tire for now. even though i'm 99% sure the 250 tire will fit on the rocker without any mods to the swing arm i'm very curious to see how you make out with that.
