Default Getting bored with my Deluxe's looks. Want ideas

Well I'm getting bored with my bike's looks and am looking for ideas to pimp it out a bit but don't know what direction to go in. I'd like to give it a stronger appearance. Do I repaint it? Do I add some 80 spoke larger size wheels? Don't want to *uck it up though. By the way. I have looked through the Deluxe pictures area and do love some of them but don't want to copy someone else.

Check out nikonf8 bike, I'm not sure exactly what they are but I think they are 50 or 80 spoke wheels,
and those fish tails really make a Deluxe shine.

Apes 12 - 16's would be good. If you paint, keep the retro styling, after all that is what the deluxe is about. Larger diameter wheels (18") would look great too.

Thanks for the Comments! Keep 'em coming. By the way, Nikon's bike is one of them that I really like.

What do you guys think some Performance Machine rims would look like against the classic styling of the Deluxe? Don't know if mixing styles will work on the Deluxe as it does on the FB.

Are you leaning toward "bobbing" the bike or "retro"?

take a look at my gallery, I've made allot of changes, with the exception of the wheels, not changing them until I have to buy new tires.
