Default Help me decide on wheels

I have been looking around for a couple of weeks and I can't decide on what kind of wheels to put on my bike. I want to go with 18" front and rear. I have been told that they will bolt right up. Here are some ideas I have looking at.

I do recognize that #1's are a pretty good deal, but I'm partial to #2's they look much more classy, they worth the difference in $$$

Mimo.

About a year ago I was in the same position as you are trying to decide what wheel to put on my 07 FatBoy. My thought then was, that a FatBoy isn't a FatBoy without solid wheels so I chromed my stock wheels. However, if I had to do it all over again I would get the Daytona's which was one of my choices in the beginning. I still may get a hair up my *** and get them some day.
