Default New wheels on night train

I will be getting back from afghanistan sometime late summer or early fall and when i get back I wanna throw some black spokes on the train. not really sure wheather i like the fat spokes or the regular spokes yet. I actually like both. Any way i already have revtech scorpion billit chrome wheels on it right now that look brand new. I am curious of what i could get for them and if any place does like trade ins on your old wheels ya know.

Also any recomendations as far a black spokes go. I have an 04 train and the size that is on there right now is a 16 out back and a 21 up front. also can i run a 18 in the back with swapping to a wide fender kit as long as i stick to the 150 tire?

thanks guys

You can run a 18"x 4.25" with a Metz 160... thats the widest with out any mods it needs to be spaced just right though and you can still stuff it in the fender...

Fat black spokes and I would do a 18x5.5 rear with a 180 tire with a wide tire kit.
