actually both. all them nooks and crannies on the wheels are a pain to clean. i have agitators and they only have 7 spokes and they can be frustrating. takes a good couple of hours to get them as clean as i like them. next time i change my tires out, i might make a day of it and clean them without the tires on, and them off the bike and do a graphene coating as suggested by @strokelessone

I have the enforcer 2 rims. My kid and I spent a few hours detailing them and then I coated them with a product called Torque. Have never used it before, just trying it out as the requirements for applying it seem fairly lax compared to a lot of the other products out there. however it will probably only last one riding season.

Those Turbines look great.. 👍

Turbines are definitely one of the best patterns HD came out with. Timeless design, though I went with the oem 19/ 18's for my build.

Looks good!

Going with a take off set was my initial plan and I actually had a guy ready to sell me his, but two things changed my mind. I came to the conclusion that I didn't want a taller rear and I really wanted that 21" in the front. I could have saved a lot of money going with the take offs, but I don't think I would have been happy with the outcome.

What kind of calipers are those? Thinking of changing mine out eventually.
