Need help Picking Wheels
Well, its gettin closer to ordering some fat spokes, 21x3 front and 16x3.5. Im having a tough time deciding on either Chrome rim with black spokes, OR going with Black Rim with Chrome spokes. Been tryin to see all the pics I can, but theres not alot of guys running black rim with Chrome Spokes. Seen a bunch of the black spokes. Give me your guys opinion, Pics if you have them, as I dont want to wait last minute and kick myself in the A** for choosing the Wrong color Combo. OS Deluxe is the only guy on here who had a pic of a bike with black rims and chrome spokes. You guys have helped me alot the last couple of months, need just alittle bit more.

You cant go wrong ethier way.I think if you want more of a blacked out look go with black spokes ,chrome rim and hub.If you want more of a chrome look go with chrome spokes with a black rim and hub.You know what would look crazy, black rim and hub with the chrome diamond cut spokes.

I am in the same boat I dont know which way to go.I just got my first color sample today from Ride wright(shattered glass over pearlized white II) think this is what I am going to go with but waiting on the black pearl sample.Sometimes too many choices makes it hard.Really think about all your options.And make the final choice on what YOU really want.Everything you have done with your bike looks awesome ,so go with your gut bro you will make a great decision .They will send you color samples if you need them.But when you order go through Drew (DR Vtwin) as you know.Ride wright even told me you will not get a better price any where. Good Luck .Cant wait to see some pics.

yeah, malingerer, it is a tough decision. Just dont want to make one, and then be like, " damn I wish I wouldve went the other color combo". It sucks, and not doubt Im goin with drew and the Dr. I think the black rim would look good with chrome nipples, its just Im tryin to make the contrast of my scoot look even. Not to much chrome, but not a blob of Black either. I think either way it will break up the Blacked front end. Its just findin the right color combo. I thought about runnin the 3.5 up front, but the availability of a 120/70/21 is costly. And I think only vee rubber and Hothawgz make em. Ive got 2 weeks to make a decision. I just hope Im happy with it, cause 2k for wheels and tires isnt cheap.
