I have 2010 SG in the same color. My vote is for stock ones…. and if they are spokes be hard to clean, and I’m lazy when it comes to cleaning especially the wheels they aren't that easy to get to.

Personally I like the stock wheels, but as others have mentioned it is all about what is right for you.

It's a laced wheel. It's an avalible option on the 2012 bikes as well ($460) right off the HD web page. On the plus side it's tubeless, but doesnt look very good on a SG if you ask me.

I like black rims as well, but then you should get whatever you like since its your bike. Congrats on the new bike by the way!

My vote is black unless they are some crazy new way cool chrome ones but probably just spokes.

Well right now I haven't been able to find anything on this either. I've got an order in for a 2013 SG while overseas as well, I don't think they departed too far from years past in most aspects of the bike though. The rep for ENCS is visiting tomorrow I think, if so I'll see what I can dig up.
