I can get them for $950 and was thinking about black inside with the beads around the rim, I did a little photoshop to see how it would look...MAD MAX looking... lol leaving them alone with the contrast look is nice too though....

yes, that's mine, tx! 3 of my friends also said to leave the spokes....
so I thought I was finished until I saw the rsd wheels with the beaded rim...I always liked that steel girder looking wheel...

I saw them on a slim and they looked pretty hot. but he also went with an 18" front

Yeah its a look I wanted and achieved with a rear 16" spoked mag wheel. Problem was, had to go to wide glide trees and with 39mm forks it couldnt handle all the weight. It had a shimmy I just couldnt get rid of. Putting my rear 16" wire spoked rim on solved it, 12 pounds difference between the 2.



There are not many options for a 16" spoked mag FRONT wheel which I think would be lighter........if you know of some post them up.

so I ordered the diesels in a 16 x 3.5 front & rear. if the cokers don't fit, i'll throw a set of firestone deluxe tires on them and put the cokers on the slim I get this summer.
I think i'll put the wheels on the bike with the original contrast color, if I think they're too blingy, i'll powdercoat the inside spokes all black and leave the beads silver.
my photoshop skills suck, but you get the idea
