Nice set of wheels but that is a lot of scratch. If I had that kinda money to spend think I would go with DNA wheels and shotgun shock. Still waitng on winning lottery numbers to make that happen.

TOTAL IS GOING TO BE AROUND $2620.

Ride Wright Wheel
PRIMO IS FORGED BILLET, NOT SPOKES. WORTH THE EXTRA $300 TO ME.
Did you get a quote from any one else For the Ride Wrights? Believe it or not going direct through Ride Wright is the most expensive option. You can save a lot of cash going through Dr Vtwin or another dealer.
Truth be told, Im not trying to compare apples to oranges here. I really wanted to go with Billet's from the get go. Not that there is anything wrong with stainless steel spokes. Just my preference. If I am spending some money on wheels, my opinion is that billet is just a better option. Yes, it is more expensive. but like I said earlier, I don't want to be hassling with loose spokes or tubes. Plus cleaning these rims will be a breeze.
I called a few diff. people to get prices on all sorts of rims. Hogpro,Ride Wright,Loud Pipes n More, Creative cycles, Chopper shop 1, Sinister and Primo. I have settled on either the Primo's or Sinister's at this point.
I think your reasoning on going with billet wheels is spot on and one day I'll probably make the switch for the same reasons. There's a sponsor on here that would be worth checking into, they had great package prices but unfortunately I can't think of their name right off but have them bookmarked at the house. I think it was southern wheels or something like that? I'll post it when I get home this evening if you don't already know who I'm talking about. I'm thinking they had entire packages for under $2k or so for some nice stuff but they didn't have spokes. The spokes you posted are definitely bad *** and I hope they are around when I go for an upgrade.
I liked the Billet Daddy until I saw the Premo. If I was in your shoes the decision would be made. Yes $3K is a lot of scratch but you do get what you pay for and you don't want to be kicking your self in the a** down the road by "settling" for something else for a few $$.
Cheers!
LOL! Dean, your crazy man! You'll get your OL putting something in your coffee if your not careful? Don't even mention that word upgrade! ha ha!
That boy is LOCO! He's upgrading before he even finishes installing the new stuff he just got. That boy has lost his mind! But I bet it feels good. LOL

Did you order yet? Another good thing about the Billet wheels is they are quite a bit lighter than the steel fat spoke wheels.
You fvkers gotta stop this **** .You are making me want to get new wheels and I like the wheels I have lol.
Pooch go with your first instinct.Pay a little extra now or a lot extra later. When your not happy because you feel you settled for something. Do it once do it right. I have learned the hard,expensive way with a few things.
My only reservation would be that these guys seem to be new to the game. However, if I was aware of these wheels before I ordered mine, I'd would have been at their shop checking them out because I really like them.
