When I first clocked on this thread I was thinking why would you want to change the wheels, I think the ones that come on it look awesome. But I must admit those would look badass. I think I would go with the CZARS, not quite as busy, a little more subtle look to match the nightster.

RC Components make awesome stuff. It's top notch equipment, and their parts are used on a lot of high dollar choppers like OCC. As for the stock nightser wheels, I never liked them. I think the Holeshots shown under the"forged wheels" on that link you posted would look really good on the nightster. Just my $0.02.

Those wheels look nice but I don't understand why you would want to change you wheels. I think that you taking away the lokk that it was intended to look like. To each thier own I guess. What about powder coating the spoke. Look at dhwheels.com someone else directed me to that site and they look pretty cool.

Just my personal opinion and taste, but I could think of ALOT better ways to spend the huge dollars on my bike that those wheels probably cost. Again, just my .02 and if you want 'em that bad then I say.... Go cat, go!
