FatBoy Solid Rims
I am picking up an extra set of factory wheels for my 2005 Fatboy, As we all keeping these things looking great can be an issue. I am thinking of getting them powered coated. Don't really want to go with chrome.......My bike is 2 tone Blue and white and I am having a hard time coming up with Ideas so Just looking for suggestions. and if you have pictures even better!!
Thanks

Is that based on actual experience or science?
I wonder, because I'm thinking the centrifugal force of the spinning wheel would be more than enough to counter the lateral pressure exerted by high winds. Also, in fast cross winds it would be an uncomfortable ride regardless of the rims and I think the danger from the winds would have to be enough to make riding dangerous long before the wheels being solid were a determining factor.

@Tampa Fatboy you know that’s a bunch of crap. All bikes catch the wind, because from the side, they’re big and flat. Solid wheels vs spoke wheels makes little to no difference.
