Default New Wheel Poll:

Ok, I'm going to try this out and see what you all think out there. I have chosen come rims I like and pasted on a picture of my bike...I would like to get opinions out there what looks the best. I have already posted a question on custom or solid wheels and the responses were pretty much 50/50, so I am going to try this. Problem being I cant make up my own mind on this so I am reaching out to you all to help me make my decision. I'm not sure yet if these are the only wheels I will choose from, but the ones so far I have come across that I like. Your opinions or suggestions would be appreciated! Oh, sorry the pictures are bad.....gives you an idea at least. Thanks for looking

I'm not partial to any of em.
If I had to choose from these, I'd say the chromed FB wheels or the ones above.

The bike is very industrial looking with all the exposed components. The wheels for the most part are really modern looking and seem to clash for me.
I would think something more mechanical looking, but what do I know [&:]

i like the twisted spoke or the thick straight 80 spoke. they seem much classer than a machined rim like those. it looks generic...of course just my opinion.

What about 100 spoke fat blue radial spokes with black nipples.

Nothin like 200 nipples on your bike!

I am partial to the old standby solid fatboy wheels myself. I am having the same issue with new wheels for my ride thus that is why I still have the stockers on. Good luck and let us know which ones you choose.
