Default Fatboy Wheel question

Ok, I have to get new rims for my 05 Fatty...and I have a poll for all you out there. I am wondeing if I should go wiht a spoke wheel, a custom wheel or a chrome solid wheel. I like the look of the custom ones, but Fatties are known for the solid wheels. What are your thoughts out there?

Yea it's a fatty and thier known for having solid wheels and all, But it looks like you have done some custom work to your ride so why would you want it look like the others. First and foremost get what you like. From the few pics I have seen I think a nice chrome custom would look nice. JMHO

By the way that is an awesome paint job. Who's the artist? How much did it cost you?

How about chrome solid with an etched image or pattern in it?

I prefer the solids, but can appreciate a cool looking custom wheel. But beware, the fatboys are so well known with the solid wheels, that some of these custom wheels don't look right to me. Pick your wheel design carefully, just my .02

I saw a FatBoy with solid chrome wheels today. It looked so damn sharp that its going to be my next upgrade.
