Default Opinion on Rims

Ok guys, here is a pic of my bike from last year. The planned mods are more chrome/less black, 12" apes instead of the 10" minis, and I am dropping the *** end 1 3/4". That gives you the basic idea of what it will look like. So here is my question, I have a set of brand new spoke rims for it. What do you think would look better, the spoke rims or the stock Superglide rims?

I got spokes so naturally I think you can't go wrong with spoked wheels, but the superglide wheels look good too. I guess its just up to you man. Are your spoke rims stock, or the smooth wheel?

Either go with chrome rims or have your current rims chromed.

Powder or paint the outer lip of the stock rims the same blue as the tins and roll with it.

They are the stock ones with the partial smooth/partial textured finish. I did think about B) having them chromed or B) trying to see if I could get the textured area powder coated the same color as the tins then polish the hell out of the smooth part.

Ahh i hate decisions lol I would just get the tires mounted onto the spokes for a while to see how I like them then decide, but the issue is I have to buy a different disk setup because they mount differently and when I bought the rims ,they said it was $300.

Hmmm maybe I should just do that, then if I do decide to get soemthing done with the stock rims, I don't have to be without a ride while they are getting done.

+1 great idea! if you have some time and polish out the spokes then powder the outter lip in the blue and chear the whole thing it would look insane and look completely custom... if not, go spokes, but do your spokes in the blue

If your looking to add more chrome, than go with some chrome rims! They will definitely add some bling to your bike!
