Looking For New Wheels
I need a little help with choosing new wheels for FB and this is the best place I know to get info. I like the spoked wheels from HD Wheels but am unsure how the color will look. Does anyone have an opinion or pics of white/ivory wheels. I don't mind the chrome wheels but I just want something a bit different in color and lacing.
Thanks

I think those would look nice. I'm thinking about changing my wheels sometime soon, thinking on going machined this time (currently rolling fat spoked RWW)... I've always loved these from Arlen Ness, pretty pricey, prolly that is why never seen them on a bike round here.

On your bike i think that white will look out of place on the rims as there is no white on the bike at all. Mabye chrome rims and white spoeks but that has the same pitfall. If you had a deluxe with white and anotehr color for the paint I'd say go for it. Maybe a chrome rim and black cherry spokes?

I agree that the ivory white would look out of place. I would just go with a 40 spoke rear wheel to match the current front wheel, or depending on budget, replace both wheels and go with chrome rim, 40 fat spokes powder coated to match your tins, black chrome nipples, black chrome hubs.

On the forum here the Ridewright fat spokes are pretty common but where I live I have not seen them on any bikes.....I have loved the look of those wheels since fist seeing them and best feature is the ability to custom order in any color combo you desire.
