Spoke wheels for Rocker or not?
I want to change wheels on my Rocker because i do not like the original style plus i want 21" at front. I have big dilema. The wheels i realy like are some multi piece wheels like Tahoa from Renegade, etc. However i am not ready to spend so much money..... So i must find compromise.
I am thinking about 80 spoke wheels. What do you think about them for Rocker?Will they improve look of the Rocker or not? Generaly should i go for spoke wheels? Below picture of another style i like and its also not so expansive. Which one you would chose?

I'm old school so I like the spoke wheels but I've also become a form follows function kind of guy over the years.
I'd go with the mags so you didn't have to deal with tubes unless the spoked wheels are sealed so you can go tubeless.
Edit: I just noticed where you're living. Are you an American stationed there or are you from there? I don't often see people posting from the Czech Republic.

I actually nearly went for those same wheels you have in your 1st pic but they didnt look as good in the flesh and knew I would get sick of them and for me there is no point spending money twice..
I am very happy wth the look and quality of the renegades I bought...
...but then again thats just my 2 cents and your the only one that has to like them...

I like the look of 40 or 60 spoke wheels on the rocker, 100 seems a bit too much for it.
I love the custom spokes from here,
