Default Help w/ finding wheels please

Hi all,
Can anyone point me in the right direction for what I want to do?

I'm wanting green spokes for my nightster wheels. I'm also considering going up a size in wheel diameter all the way around if possible. I have googled and searched but havent found what I'm looking for?

Is there a shop that can re-lace my wheels with new green spokes?

welcome. well any indy shop can do that and the dealer prolly can too except the dealer will want your first born for that. i'm certain you can go up one size on the wheels too. i'd go 21" up front and 18" in the rear but not sure what all is involved. i'm sure mods will need to be made to the brake calipers. fenders etc.....maybe someone else that's done this can chime in also. good luck bro.

You can go up a wheel size and keep the fenders you have if you plan it out right with the correct tire size.

One of the site sponsors is The Powder Pro. Check out their site. I've dealt with them before and they're super cool...and can do everything you want in regards to powder.

As far as buying the wheels, there are alot of places that sell them but don't have them on their sites. You'll have to actually call. Scary, right? With the world of vendor web sites and email everything is condensed to stick out better but there's a whole world beyond the keyboard!
