With the whitewall already, you need Ride Wright fat daddies! Just my opinion. It reallty goes with the style of your bike! Of course I can get them for you at a nice discount as well.

You could polish them to a high sheen and run them that way. I ran a polished Fatboy wheel on my Sportster and really liked it.

There's some sellers on ebay that sell chromed Fatboy wheels and take yours in on trade. I don't have any experience with them though.

I have regular HD laced wheels on my Heritage, but plan to change them out when I need tires so I can run tubeless.

I think with the white walls and apes on the bike spokes would seem to fit.

I was thinking of chrome rims with black spokes for my Lo, but then I saw the custom cut wheels, and now I'm thinking of going that direction.

Now that I have seen your ride and you mentioned hot rod look.

There are Co's that even supply you with a simplified version of their CAD software in a very basic n' intuitive level, you can design your own cut pattern and then send the file to their facilities to be loaded into the cutter.

Here is another one, check it out: http://ippworks.name/chromeexchange/...turbine07.html
