Default Need a little input on wheels

So I'm normally not the guy to ask random opinions on how something will look on MY bike. If I like it then I buy it and put it on cuz I like it and not worry about what other people think.. Well in this case I'm deferring to the masses to help me make the decision..


Check out the pics of this wheel and let me know your thoughts and whether it would work with my ride.. Also your opinion on the rotor.. I'm not too sure about it's look..

Thanks guys..

My bike..



The Wheel

I dig the wheels but am not too keen on the rotors. I assume they are designed to match? They don't really look like they do in the view shown.

I think they will look good on your bike. The design on the rotors are a bit different than the wheels but I think its one of those things that grows on ya. The more I look at it the more I like it.

No go on the rotors. They are gonna take away from the wheel. I like the wheels though. Hell!!! Anything is better than stock.

You know Rail...You remind me of some of the postings I do. I have pretty much decided on something when like a savvy politician I like to poll the masses just to see or make sure I'm not the Spaz I know I am!!

Those wheels are badass. Unlike the others I actually like the rotor in the grand scheme of things on your Rawker and like it even more if the money is spot on.

Is that a set of RSD Dominoes?

I like those for your bike and they will outrock the current wheels tenfold.

I want a sprotor on those rims.

Sheese I want a sprotor on my wheels sumtin awfully fierce.

If the money is right?

GET THE WHEELS THEY EFFIN" ROCK!!

The wheels really set it off, but I agree with the rotors...don't quite match up for the bike.
