Default Wheel help on the Fat Bob

Can't decide on the black or chrome, going with these in 18's. Any opinions.

Thanks.

i would have a hard time justifying the cost of wheels like that when the brake rotor's cover them up so much, jmho though!!

True, I was thinking the larger wheels would help show off more wheel.

I can vouch for PM's quality, it's top notch! Do you plan on going with matching rotors? They are pricey but will show more of the rim than the stock ones. And if you go with 18" that alone will make a big difference in how much of the rim you see compared to the stock 16's! As for black or chrome, I've seen the black ones in person and they looked bada$$!

I'm not a big chrome fan but that is what I would go with on that bike for sure. It will balance it nicely. I'd also go with a mix as an option as well and not necessarily chrome with the black but another color that would pull from your bike although, don't get me wrong, cause chrome/black would work well to.

Definitely chrome. If you were to go with a color it would have to be gray to match the frame and the rest of the paint. CVOs are chorme ****** so stick with what cha brung, lol.
