A little contrast looks good, and makes both stand out.

I like bobbers look, and think it would go good on your bike too

Sinister Wheels has a "design your own wheel" tool on their website. You select the bike, the rim, spoke, hub, nipple and tire conbination you want. The bike is stock but it gives you a ruff idea. Their Big Daddy wheels are the same as the Fat Daddy wheels.

The chrome rim but with black spokes would be a hell of a lot easier to keep clean. Both are gonna look badass. So you really cant make a wrong decision here.

Yeah those web sites are cool, because they at least give you an idea. Its just the samples are in 16 inch wheels, and when your deciding on a 21 up front its hard to decide. I think I may end up just goin with black rim and black hub. We'll see, thanks for the help fellas
