If you like it that's all that matters.

I have the Thunderstars, front and rear on my FXST.

Keep the ideas coming guys. I'm still trying to figure out what to do with my Duece rear wheel. Though about going the chrome disk route, but now I'm not sure. I already have the Thunderstar front, but I think that's going to be replaced as well.

Boring stock, but nice if it's chromed like I did mine. A lot cheaper than a new wheel. ($250).

Yea hated the rear wheel when I bought the deuce, so changed it to the hog pro 200 spoked wheel to match the front. Made all the difference to the looks and the 200 was bad ***.

They do look pretty bad if not meticulously maintained - worse than a lot of other wheels.

Another thing I did to mine that gives it a little more "pop" is painted the rough cast portion between the ribs. See attached pic.
Hey, 2black1s,would you mind backing up a bit and taking a pic to see the whole wheel? I'm kinda liking it.

I love it. I want to do the wider solid wheel, but they're all chromed/polished. I'm going to end up powder coating it black I think.
