RE: Do I put a custom wheel on the back of my SG?

I would do both wheels to match, you can see it from the ride side. When I do my wheel swap I am swithching both the only thing I am not doing is the rear rotor with the pulley those you really do not see. Well again maybe once I am there I will go for the whole thing including calipers and all..Go all out or stay home is my motto..

anything but stock --- either chrome disk or matching--- but not stock

Hey Guys
I need some opinions. I have a black 06 SG and I have a 18in PM Torque wheel on the front. I have yet to get one for the rear. A lot of my friends say, why bother? I saw on Paul Yaffes site they have a solid 18 chrome wheel that will work with the stock pulley and rotor. Or do I just save and get a matching wheel? Tuition has slowed changes on the bike. So I get a solid wheel or save and match the wheels? I was looking at Bad Dads site and I like the look of 2in streatched bags and maybe a different fender? It really wont cover the wheel that much.

thanks
Eric

I did the Torque on the front and the solid disc on the back. I love it, and so do the guys at the shop where my engine woek is getting done.

I just put chrome on my EGC, and thought about just doing the front, but after a while I know it would have bothered me because I would have known that it didn't match the front. Also I agree that you can't see much of it yourself, but to others from a distance it's definitely noticeable.

I did, but you don't have too. I mean if its botherin you then go for it, if its not, then why bother. Its really a matter of preference. You can barely see the rear tire.
