Glad I'm not the only one faced with difficult decisions! lol As the others have said, either setup would look sweet. I'm just stuck on the fat spokes, unless of course I could afford something like the Rampage Hurricane, but at nearly $3K each, they're a little out of my price range.

Kozy my Vote is for Fat spokes all the way.But what ever you do get something you like.Don't buy some thing just to be different.
Dont fall into the forum trap.Yes quite a few have Fat Spokes on this forum.But how many Fat Spokes do you see in RI.I would think very few.I have seen a few sets around my way.But I see way more billet wheels than fat spokes around here. IMHO spoke wheels belong on a Deluxe wether you're gonna So Cal it or keep with the vintage old school appeal. Just CAN NOT go wrong with a set of spokes on a Deluxe.

Hdwheels.com they are the best by far for spokes. The Apollo SL has a seamless rim without the unsitely stepped look that all spoke rims have. You can also get custom tires for your custom rims. Red walls, white walls, whatever colors walls. Various designs, good quality at a good price. Im going for 21's front and back this year with white walls. Just thought I would speed the word in these stand up guys!

wheels
+1 on that .....I would take a look at Sinister wheels, a little different but still have that old school flavor, or Performance Machine has some really nice wheels as well. I would definetly go with the 18 21 combo though... Thats what I got and woudn't have it any other way,theres nothing like having that big 21 out front....I get alot of compliments on the front wheel!!! Good luch with whatever you choose!!

I think I'm going with the fat spokes 21/18 just don't havethe extra $1K to put into the billet wheels and I'd be just as happy with the fat spokes.
So hopefully in March I'll have them ready
