Default Billet wheel decisions

For once, I can't make up my mind on which way to go.

First option, a set ofRC ComponentsVega wheels with pully and rotors for about $2,600.00
Nice wheels, but a lot of money and only my second favorite..

Second, buy my all time favorite wheel, the WCC Doom for the front, but it isn't available in the 6.25 X 17 for the rear, and I want to keep the 17" tire size back there because I HATE the way a tall 18" wheel looks on the rear of a Harley. Looks Jap to me..
So, what I would do is send out my rear wheel to be chrome plated, put the Jesse Doom wheel for the front and keep my HD floating rotors, all for the price of around $1,100.00

Which way to go?



Jesse James Doom Wheel

I would go with the Doom front wheel option myself if I was in your position, if it is your all time favorite wheel, chrome the rear. It will look sweet and save you $1500.

Like the doom wheels, but my personal preference is for matching rims. Really it is up to you, just my opinion.

I agree. Between the two I prefer the Doom but better yet I like front and rear to match when it comes to custom wheels.
