Default 50 Fat Spoke Wheels On Night Train
I'm looking for Pics of Ride Wright Fat Daddy 50 Spoke Wheels on Night Train's. If any of you guys have any please post them up. I plan on getting a set for my 2008 Denim Black Train & would like to see pics. My brother thinks it will not look that good with them.

I'm thinking of having my gas tank & rear fender pin striped with some Dark Red accent. Nothing crazy at all. As for the wheels, I'm thinking all Black with Dark Red Nipples. Is he right when he says that it will not look good? Front end is going to get powder coated too. I want to keep the black look going. Any advice on looks would be appreciated!

Thanks!!!

I think the black and red is too much color. Either black wheels with chrome nipples or chroem wheels with red nipples. Keep it simple.

i posted another sideview of my bike on your other topic. Keep in mind my "fat 50" is a 18" rim with a 140 tire on it.

I've been bar hoping for the last 5 hours & been thinking about it. The more I think about it I think your right. When I look at my bike all I can think about is all black with chrome nipples. I was just trying to get something different to set my bike off from others. I would like to see some pics of others Night Trains with these wheels if possible.

Here is the idea I had but had to use a different bike.

Maybe Fame will chime in he has a 21 - 18 combo from ridewright.

I have the 52 Mammoth's by DNA... But you can see the look atleast...

Gloss Black, Hubs, Spokes, Hoops, and Polished Stainless Nipples...

23 front & 18 rear, don't mind the fender I'm still working on it... lol

Story, that looks sick!!! Thanks for the pics. I was wondering if I should stick with the 21 front wheel or jump to a 23. After seeing yours I think the 23 looks better. Love the fender too!


Anyone else have these on your Train? Post them pics....

Thanks!

I agree with above.Black spokes and rim with chrome hub and nipples would look good.Mine with color matched spokes.

Honestly I think your bike would look awesome with a Crossbones rear wheel. But if you do go with a Fat Daddy 50 follow Drew's advice. Too much color is going to mess up the clean look your bike has.

Love the way your bike is now just need a couple simple changes and it will really pop.
