I think they'd look good blacked out.

But I'm a little biased...

Nothing like blackand chrome. Too much black and IMO you just don't have it.
The wheels you have now are outstanding.

I'd like to see someone use the black chrome. It looks sweet on some cars, why not on bikes. Those rims would look sweet black chromed.

My take is if you did, you should also black the pipes also. I believe it would give great contrast, other than that you bike looks pretty nice now with those rims.

Jeff you know my opinion on this. I love the HogPro wheels and their service but if I had the extra cash I would have gone with the RMD Billet 3 piece wheels in the photo below. They are without a doubt a sharp wheel on any bike. Therethere isanother version that is a three spoke that gives the appearence of a blade instead of a flat spoke and has the raisedrivits or bolts and is black, chrome and three piece. They come in all black also but for the life of me I cant find the website. If you get new wheels I will have to go one better and buy something else to get one up on you! My new Wimmer gloss black dual runner intakewith red filters should do it. Anyhow good luck send the pics when you buy them.

Take a look at Fat Baggers Inc. front fender with 21 inch mounts. I just bought one and let me tell you its a total transformation! Expensive but worth it. No pics yet till I get back home but very sweet all painted and cut down to my specs.
