Default New wheels

hello all...

just thought i would post pics of my sled with some new shoes. I dropped the front 2" and the rear 1.5" over the long weekend. I also added a 21x3.5 on the front (120/70/21 Avon) and a 18x4.25 (150/70/18) on the rear. The wheels are from Black Bike -- Candy Copper powder coat with 60 twisted spokes. I am pretty stoked. I think it sets the bike off nicely. I was gonna repaint the bike, but i think the wheels compliment the emblem and pin stripes so nicely, that i think i will leave it as-is.

I like spokes, but I don't like the copper color.
