Default Rear wheel opinions please

I bought a discontinued model front wheel from Hogpro, and am now looking to buy a rear that is a close match.

1st pic is my wheel, 2nd is all black model, 3rd is a Renegade similar style. I kinda like all black as it will not get cleaned as much as the front, but what does everyone think?










Thanks in advance.

Id go with all black since the bags cover 80% of it anyway, who's really gonna see?

Or, keep the rear stock rim and get extended bags and rear fender for just a bit over the price of a rim thats going to be hidden.

I picked up a used enforcer for my 05 an I'm just going to leave the rear stock since no one sees it anyway. I may do the stretched bags later to help hide it a little more.

In your shoes I would drop the rear wheel off at your local powder coater to get rid of the machined lip on your stock wheel and forget it. looks like your bags will make it almost unnoticeable.

If it's for the pic in your signature, I'd leave whatever's on there on there. you can't see it. At all. If you have to have something, I'd get black. too much work to have chrome back there on any bagger.
