Default Which Wheels?

I know it's my choice, and I should do what ever I think.. But I'd like to hear your feedback on which wheels would fit my blacked out Road King look I'm going for..

I like all of them, but to get a better idea we need to see a pic of your bike.

I know it's a tough call.. Can't really go wrong with any of them.. Bike however is in the shop getting heads, cams, pipes, powdercoating, etc.. Think Black Road King with black pipes, 21" wheel, clean, not much bling.

They all look good, I would probably go with the best bang for the buck with all included, (tires, disc, etc) and see if they also sell other matching parts such as a/c, and grips for example, especially if you want a certain theme.

I like the Czar's. The only problem is the design close to the hub would be covered by the rotors. Next I like the holeshots. I looked for a few months before I bought. Its very tough shopping for wheels. Especially when dropping that kind of coin

I don't like any of them, they look heavy and bulky to me.

PM/RSD brake rotors look better than RC brake rotors in my opinion so keep that in mind when choosing a wheel. I think the Gasser wheel would look awesome on a blacked out roadking.

My last set of PM's were very heavy - much heavier than stock cast wheels. Go here -

If voting, would go with the Eclipse. Just have the cleanest look of them without being too much. Think qtrracer said it best, the rest all look bulky.
