Thanks guys !! i was leaning towards the rim with the black in cause of the pic i seen on HD website when you search parts , as you can see with all the chrome on that bike the 1st rim (w/black) doesnt look bad ? matter of fact it makes the rim stick out more plus less cleaning

Well, all I can say is that is also on a black bike, and that bike has the matching rear wheel. You spend the money on chrome oil/battery covers, upper/lower belt guards, pulley cover, and now you want a wheel thats not chrome? I still vote for the chrome one.
