Default Ride Wright or Black Bike?

Need a new rear wheel, obviously not going stock.

So do I go with ride wright or black bike?

Needs to be an 18" but I'm not sure on the width. I like the looks of the BB 18x7" But I've heard alot of good things about ride wright and I'm not sure if they have an 18x7.

And do I go all chrome or add some black to the wheels? Leaning towards all chrome but I do like the look of some of the black rims on here.

Opinions are appreciated.

How about just powder coating the stock wheel?

No 18x7 from Ride Wright. 18x5.5 is the biggest 18 they make.

Ordered my front rim through Dr V-twin. Ride Wright black and chrome, quality is top notch and you wont beat their price.

I've heard nothing but good about either company. Have pondered getting some rims from BB with a black rim and chrome spokes.

Damm Supremo, I've been thinking the same this for wheels.Black rims, black hubs and chrome spokes.

I've seen a couple on here that just look outstanding. I may get rims this winter if I can swing it, but I'm all over the place on what I want to end up with.

I went with the Ride Wrights black rim & hub with chrome spokes. The rear is an 18" and the front is a 21"...Just so u get an idea what they look like..
