again its all a matter of opinion, but I would prolly go with a 3.5 but would more than likely not fit on mid glide front.

Shiny for sure.
Black looks good only until the first layer of dust get on them.
Chrome still looks better dusty than gloss black.
Bugs also show up better on black.

Normally I would vote for the chrome every time. However, considering your bike and the color of it I am really digging the spoke idea.
