Default Which Rear WHEEL???

Sorry guys...screwed up on the title. Should be for the FRONT wheel.

Which one do y'all like better?

By the way, this is going on a denim black, 2006 Night Train with almost everything powdercoated black. I plan on leaving the stock rear wheel, so what do you prefer?

Mimo,

Yep. I was thinking that the stock rear wheel is so hard to see anyway, that I might get something that would compliment it (as seen in the circles in the first wheel) and not have to replace.

like the second pic better...i think mimo's confusion is cause the thread title is "which rear wheel?" yet your replacing the front....
if i was to buy wheels for mine, i would get pm gasser contrast cut...been loving those for a few years...also would do the complete deal, rims, pulley and rotors
