Can someone with 80 spoke wheels please post some pics. Thinkin about puttin these with blackwalls on the King.
I need to visualize, ponder, go back and forth on decision, get dirty looks from wife about spendin more, visualize some more, check for best prices, figure out a way to pay for'em, hear all the pros and cons, take a long ride to think about it, ponder and visualize somemore, and then say ahh F$#K it and buy 'em anyway.
I like the look of your pic Biggzed of the RKC, w/o the teardrop rotor and on 16", as well asstsltd's HD 80 on the UC. Big diffrence between AWW and HD 80 spokes? Price, wire gauge, etc?
I think from a look perspective the American Wire and Harley 80 spoke wheels are very similar - the American Wirewheels are tubeless which can be a nice feature - the Harley wheels can be made that way I am told but have not followed upon it....
