I know everybody's got their own opinions. I wanna know what you guys think about fat spokes on a street glide. I've got a tequila sunrise bike with agitator wheels. I see these dang wheels everywhere. I'm thinking about a 21in fat spoke on front and 18in fat spoke on the rear. I'm thinking black rim with chrome spokes. I'm not going any bigger than 21. I take a lot of trips and I wanna keep things comfortable and still look good.
Not sure about the height or weight. I just know that I've seen VERY few solid wheels that I would be happy with on my bike. I love my agitators but I hate seeing them at every red light.
tell you the truth I have NO idea what agitators look like.
wheels are not really on my radar...
here's what I like to see:
functionally though, weight should be something you consider.

Well said! I feel the exact same way. I seem to notice nice paint more than wheels on a motorcycle.
OP some custom ghost paint design to accent the color of the scooter, would be cool.
To me, wheels/rims are like shoes. As long as they're comfortable...who cares. If I spend anything on bike, it's going to be performance upgrades & not rims. I don't look at dudes shoes while out strolling and certainly don't pay attention to anyone's rims while riding.
