I hear ya loud and clear swenjj. My reason for posting this.I got some ideas and already ordered a wheels but I am curious as to whats out there. Let me tell you, a good set of wheels is gonna set ya back close to $2 grand (at least all theones I like).Thing is, in my opinion, customwheels are what really set these bikes off. Looking forward to seeing the pics....

I am definately a fan of the bare minimum or the total maximum, staying away from disc wheels, when it comes to the number of spokes.

I thought for sure we'd see more posts on this topic. Custom wheels are a popular item. I am surprised we only have one post. Once I get mine installed, I'll post a pic...
