Guys I need your help, I was about to go and pay for my wheels 21 front and 16 rear PM heathen with sigle side 13in rotor with the 6 piston cabiler ok so while I was at the dealership yesterday getting ready for the ride I'm talking with the parts guy and he shows me the the 120ci motor it's only 5k plus I get a little bit of a discount for being part of their points card deal so wheels are 3Gs do I go for motor or wheels I have the cash to do one or the other I have billet wheels now but I don't like the way they look I want the speed jut to beat my buddies that have the CVO's so guys what do you think and why

I have chrome custom wheels and a built engine.
After 7 years the chrome is starting to peel off the wheels and they're starting to look a little ugly. I've been told 300+ per wheel to get them re-chromed. Does peeling chrome bother you? Check the mfg warranty, many have limited coverage on chrome plating. The other question to ask is how long before the fat bagger/skinny tall front wheel starts to look dated? They look good but I think the end is near.
Ill probably leave the wheels until they get to the point I can't stand it then decide what to do with them.
On the other hand performance never goes out of style.

I agree. If you don't have the bling you ain't gettin' that thang.

You could always do the 120 motor & then sell your current 103 motor, then take that money and by the wheels. Best of both worlds! just have to wait a bit to get the wheels - till the motor sells.
