Default 2009 Ultra Wheels

Can't decide on new Harley chrome 28 spoke wheels (same as Ultra Limted) or Harley chrome nine spoke. Any thoughts or opinions? Don't want to break the bank with other custom wheels, just want to enhance appearance of chrome front end.

Personally, I'd hold off until you find something that really catches your eye, and you know it's something you want on your bike more than any other design. Who cares what somebody else thinks...it's your bike. Modify it to please you...then you won't always think "I think the other item would have been nicer, don't know why I followed other people's 'advice'"

Good advice on waiting. Chances are you will want custom wheels sooner than later and you won't take a bath on getting rid of a decision you make now. My .02 and I'm glad I waited. It was hard, but worth it IMO.

In late Oct I put the 28 spoke chrome wheel on the front only of my 09,thinking I can't see enough of the rear wheel.The rear one is on order now.I love the look of the front one,I wasn't sure if it would be that big of a change from the polished alum,but it does look a lot better,and easier to keep clean too.
