RE: Custom Wheels - Help please!!!
Have you looked at weldwheels.com?You can go to the motorcycle section and choose Fatboy, pick your color and see what their wheels look like on your bike.It's pretty cool, they're working on all bikes, currently the Fatboy is the only one you can do it with.

I like the heavier look of the 8 spoke. But I have to say this to you if your leaning toward one over the other and in the end you still feel that way even though more like the other get the one you like no matter what others say. Its your money your bike and your decision take your time be sure and then make your move Lets face it we all want to have something different but in reality if you do not make it yourself there will be plenty of others who have the same thing. I cant tell you how much money people waste making a snap decision and then selling and buying again. Wheels are not cheap see what else you may need for the install do the spacers and bearings if needed come come with the wheels.

Get some chromed fatboy wheels. Its just not a fatboy without the solid disk wheels. But they both look cool. HMMMmmmm...Choices, choices. I think I would get 18" wheel for the front if that would fit. I like how it looks with a lower profile tire...

I just put a set of the 18"8 spokes on my 01 Fatboy this winter. I've been out on a few rides and down to the local watering hole and get all kinds of compliments on them. I also put some 3" spike axle covers on. Do yourself a favor and get the Metzlers the bike is way more responsive than it was with the stock stock tires. If you get the F3 hub you can get a metz 160/70/18 on there without any mods.
Thanks for all of your input guys. I'll get some pics posted as soon as I finish 'er up.
