Default Final three! advice and assistance required...

Alright, this should be pretty simple but somehow I am complicating it....

I have a vivid black Slim with blacked out forks, RSD rear fender so I will be putting a 200 on the rear and will be going 23" up front with the Progressives to lower it a bit as well as Shotguns on the rear.

I am down to three options for wheels - please help me with the choice as I simply cant choose! Unfortunately I have not seen any of these on any rides in the flesh so I am hoping some of you may have to be able to help me out.

Option 1.

Ridewright Fat Daddy´s




Option 2.

Colorado Customs Baja Cut




Option 3.

Colorado Customs Fat Spoke

The CC fat spoke is by far the most expensive. $300 more than any of their other wheels. I like the Baja for several reasons. First the matching on the bare aluminum is really neat looking. Second it is not nearly as common as a fat spoke, third I think it will fit the style of the bike you have which is vintage, yet modern. I sell the CC wheels at a discount and Sinister fat spokes in the same configuration as well if you decide on the spokes. Regardless, your bike will look great whatever you choose.

Colorado Customs Fat Spoke. That is a bad *** wheel.
You can't go wrong with any of them, but that one is different.

Without a doubt, the baja cut would be going on my Slim if I had a choice. Actually, either of the 3 will be looking good on you bike.
