Well I think im deciding on anodized gold rim gloss black hub ,spokes and nipples. I think that will look I want 21 inch fat wheel for the front (21"x3.5) and 18" rear....how wide is the stock rear? I guess id pick the same width??? Anything else I should know? I don't want the front fender..
Just remember one thing (most people including me forget!)
The fat daddies look great when new but they are some of the hardest wheels to keep clean. The further in toward the hub you get the harder it becomes. Cleaning the hubs themselves is practically impossible. I had chrome hubs and they ruined the look of the wheels as I couldn't clean them. Gold would be the same IMO.

Great wheels but flawed design!
Mine still look brand new 6 months later. Wash once a week (I ride all teh time). Blow dry. Wipe down and ride. Once every month or two I spend a few hours with a come good polish and a rag on tehm. I did this Friday and they are perfect. My last set did not get cleaned enough and got really grungy. In turn it would take a lot longer to get them perfect again. Learned my lesson with that.
I invest a lot of time keeping them clean and it is well worth it.
