Default need fat daddy 50 spoke pics

Considering some new wheels for my 08 Deluxe. Like the fat daddy 50 spoke but was wondering if there are others out there. Any pics would help me in my decision. Thanks

Fantastic wheels ..... BUT ! .... they are a B******d to keep clean have some fitted to my Road King and if your going to do it right cleaning wise you have to go between every spoke rim end and make sure no moisture collects there as it will rust .... have seen several cases of rust there on friends wheels that they had to return for replacement because they did not pay attention to detail as i said beatifull wheels but need a lot of attention .........

I had mine for 3 years now and they don't have any rust at all.Don't really clean them that often either.Wash them with S-100 when I do clean them.They take a good 15 minutes apiece to clean when I do them.First I've heard of a rust issue.If they are left outside in the elements year round I'm sure they'll get some rust on them as will all metals.Great wheels,a little on the heavy side and if ya ever do have an issue Sam stands behind them.

I love my wheels. I have to go and clean them today. A serious time investment but well worth it. It gets me out of the house and away from the wife for a few hours.
