Wheel Upgrade??
I'm planning on upgrading my wheels this winter and I'm torn on what I want so maybe I can get some people's opinions on what would look best. I have a 2009 FLHT Black Denim.
Option one: HD Chrome agitators 19/18 (with money left over would pick up the chrome engine kit)
Option two: Fat Spokes with red hub/rim with black spokes with white walls 21/16
Option three: Fat spokes with black hub/rim with chrome spokes with white walls 21/16
Thanks for any and all input.

Fat spokes with white rim / chrome spokes / white hub black sidewall 21/16
Too much chrome kills the denim black paint.
Some red / white von dutch style pin stripes would be kick ***

In my opinion, there are to many bikes HD Chrome agitators.
Your other options sound good, if spokes is what your looking for. I decided to do a wheel upgrade over the winter. After looking at a bunch of wheels and vendors, I got the best deal from HogPro. If I had a denim bike, I think I'd look at some contrast cut wheels. Give the guys at HogPro a shout before you pull the trigger on a wheel purchase, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I've got to agree here. Certainly, many really like them, but you couldn't "melt and pour on my head" the all around maintenance...

Contrast cut, find a deal on a like new set on one of the web boards Chopped Baggers seems to have a new set listed almost daily as guys go bigger.
Good luck with your decision.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm definitely leaning towards the spoke. As far as the contrast cut, the thought has ran through my mind but I feel the fender and light bar would need to be changed out. however, I think the contrast cuts look great on the denim SG and RG.
Thanks again and keep them coming...also if you think something else may look better let me know.
