mines an 18x5.5 with a 200/55r18 metzler me880 i had good experiance with metz. and lots of people like them. hdwheels is the way to go for aftermarket wheels. as i was told if you go with a spoked wheel you want to go with a tube because they willl leak if you dont even if they do put that rubber silicone around the nipples they might have a change to leak therfore i went with a tube in the rear and front. again as i heard form more than one bike shop owner to go with tubes if you have spoked wheels. just sharing the info i was told.

Could be jkeeton, they say we all have a twin somewhere =) No worries with hdwheels bro, they are good to go.

QS78, checked out the pipes, they would look really tough with some black header wrap on em. What kind of fender are you looking at ?

Thanks for all the great compliments guys !!
