Default Yes another wheel option thread...

I will make it simple ....

Do I go Shiny??...http://hogpro.com.au/images/products...els/Mystic.jpg

Or do I go spokie?? ... http://www.hdwheels.com/images/40-60...r%20Rocker.jpg I would get them with red spokes.


Am I over thinking it or have I seen too many episodes of biker build of and OCC by trying to be too different with the spokes ( and they work out quite a lot cheaper ) or do I stick to classic chrome

I think they are both badass, hard choice. I would say I like the spokes over the chrome though.
