Default Let's see some red wheels!
Preferably with Wide White Walls...and on a Deluxe....

I have a 2006 Deluxe and if I don't sell it and get a bagger, then I am thinking about having my hoops and hubs powder coated red.

Here is a pic of my bike, I am concerned that it might be too much red with the wheels.

That's cool, I am about to PC my hoops blue on my new-to-me black deluxe. looking for a lead sled, hot rod look. got an indy quote of $760 to do the powder and install lowering springs in the front.

I like the red wheels on that one in the video and does give it that old school hot rod look - I just don't know if it would look "overdone" on my bike since it has a lot of red in it already.

Default Speaking of Red Wheels...
Took this shot of my old Crossbones in 08 at a car show in Worcester Ma. Just pulled up next to this bucket and snapped a shot. Love those red wheels on the car.

Honestly I'm afraid it would be way to much red IMHO.

I agree. I think that adding red wheels would throw the look off. If you are wanting to add color to the wheels that badly then maybe have someone add a thin red line on the lip of the wheel. Just to add a small pop of color.

I agree that it might seem like a lot of red on your bike. Great looking two tone you got there!
