blacking out street glide

Just finished blacking out my street glide. Looking for some black 14" prime apes or monkey bars, next on the list is a 21 front wheel. Cant decide if i should go with contrast or chrome. let me know what you think.

I think the contrast would look killer. It would pop like the highlight from the engine fins being aluminum. Great looking bike by the way. Def love the crash guard.

It depends if you want the wheel to really pop or just match the bike. A chrome wheel will always stand out much more than a black wheel. If your goal is blacked out get a black wheel. If your goal is to make it shine a bit get chrome. It is alwyas a difficult choice when getting wheels. On my blacked out bike I have black wheels. On my chromed out bike I have chrome rims. Go figure.

I'd go for contrast wheels. By the way, that Softail is sweeeet!

Very Nice. I just put some black 14" apes on my SG and have now started adding some black parts to go with them. I'm thinking of blacking it out and with it being hot white denim I think it would look good. Your bike just helped me decide to go that route for sure.
