Default Billet or Fat Spoke.

Time has come to get wheels or a front wheel. What do you all think? Billet or fat spoke. Think I will stay with chrome so I can do just the front for now. Here is how Swap Meet sits now. Unknown lowering kit in the forks and shotgun out back.

I would go billet on that bike. The crushed can picture is rad.

I cleaned up the spokes on my Deuce today; it got me thinking about an alternative as well. I love the look of laced wheels, but they're high maintenance, and a tire puncture on a tubeless rim is a lot easier to fix on the side of the road.
