Default Show Off Your Fat Spokes.

Bugsplat's bike has me sold. These wheels would look bad a$$ on my Lo...now to find out if I can get a rim that will match polished alum. Oh I blame Kozy for this:P Definetly my next big spend once I clear up the recent mod bill.

Anyways...I googled and looked at least 100 pics. Got fats? Lets seem them

Cheers.

Bugsplat fats...

If you want polished look it just takes some abrasive like paint thinner and a scouring pad it will dull up that chrome quick

HA! I don't have patient hands and tend to mess things up.

Kozy...seeing you throw yours on made me realize what a game changer the spokes are. I always admired the fat spokes...but yours got me thinking for the Lo. Warg's FB also made me realize that 16s would still look awesome and keep the beefy look that I am trying to go for.

Then when you order your wheels tell them you want a raw hoop an if they have one tell them you want it media blasted.
