Default Check this wheel out!
I think this is the wheel I'm going with on my '09 RG in Mirage Orange Pearl.

Mine will be colored a bit differently.

I'm thinking.....
Gloss Black Wheel
Gloss Black Hubs
Gloss Black Spokes
Mirage Orange Pearl Nipples

These are www.ridewrightwheels.com wheels.

What do you guys think?

You will love it. I have it in black and chrome and get a lot of compliments. The orange will be very trick.

Fat Daddies are nice. That color combo sounds really nice too.

Tslonige - slick rim. They have to be easier to clean than standard spokes.

Love the looks, fear the flat tire when you cant plug them in case of an emergency.. Most spoke set ups are tubed and that sucks. Also the rigidity of spokes in no-where near what a billet/forged wheel offers..

Sold my spokes in favor of the billet...

Ahhhhhh...
Never fear, my friend.
Some spoke wheels ARE tubeless.
These can be ordered as such.
Of course, that's how I'd order them.
