there aint a damn thing wrong with shinko tires. i have them on my roadglide and they ride fine. from all accounts, they are very sticky so they wear out faster. i've got 5k on mine and no noticeable wear yet.

@r8r_4_life those wheels look very nice, and they will look great on your bike. now the downside, you're gonna hate it when it's time to clean them....

Spend a couple hundred dollars and have them graphene coated before installing them, rinse them off and hit hem with a leaf blower and they will always look like new.

OP: Nice looking rims! Love to see them on the bike when ready. New rims in my future as well (next season perhaps).

I'm assuming this should be done before tires were mounted??
