21'&18' combo on SG
Seeing all the great looking bikes on here I would like to put that setup on my 08 SG. Ques. is spokes or billet style wheels? Iknow its Personal preference I'm considering AWWheel 60 spoke classics or aspen by renegade SG is vivid black which would hold up better in terms of corrosion? thanks

Chromed aluminum wheels will probably hold up better. Any cast wheel is going to be less maintenance and easier to clean than a spoke. I personally love my spokes, but those Aspen's are really nice.

I think chromed billet would be easier to clean, plus in case of emergency you can plug a tire on the road to get home. If you do end up choosing spokes avoid radial laced on the rear wheel for safety reasons.

Thanks for the advice I was reading on the forum about pits and flaking on chromed aluminum and I would hate to see this happen to a billet wheel. I would assume a good waxing would prevent this from occuring. Thanks Again.

You might want to consider the RC Components Calypso. Very similar to the Renegade Aspen but RC Components wheels have a 7 year chrome warranty...

I personally love the look of spokes, its the maintenance that goes with them I could do without. Spoke tightening, broken spokes...blah blah blah.
Your decision...billets are maintenance free though.
