#3 is cool looking but I also agree the spokes work too.

I agree on keeping the spokes. If you really want a mag, I like the bottom one the best.

I've got to be the biggest advocate for spokes here but in this case I must vere.... Your bike has a nice Jim Nasi vibe to it, and with that I think the first set of wheels work best. Oh God, not only did I go against spokes, I chose chrome!!!

Thanks for the advice...Branner, I did use Jim Nasi bikes as an example of what I was looking for. The Chrome ForgeTec wheels are real nice, was suprised not the popular choice. The bike is already dark...paint is a dark grey, bars, motor. Was considring the wheels as a contrast but like to hear the opinions here.
