Default 80 Spoke

Can someone with 80 spoke wheels please post some pics. Thinkin about puttin these with blackwalls on the King.

I need to visualize, ponder, go back and forth on decision, get dirty looks from wife about spendin more, visualize some more, check for best prices, figure out a way to pay for'em, hear all the pros and cons, take a long ride to think about it, ponder and visualize somemore, and then say ahh F$#K it and buy 'em anyway.

Thanks all

You didn't specify what size wheel you were considering. Here is a pic of my old RKC w/ AWW 18" 80 spokes.

Thanks.

I like the look of your pic Biggzed of the RKC, w/o the teardrop rotor and on 16", as well asstsltd's HD 80 on the UC. Big diffrence between AWW and HD 80 spokes? Price, wire gauge, etc?

Thanks bros for the shots.

I think from a look perspective the American Wire and Harley 80 spoke wheels are very similar - the American Wirewheels are tubeless which can be a nice feature - the Harley wheels can be made that way I am told but have not followed upon it....

Here's mine with 80 spoke, 18" front and rear (rims are powdercoated, spokes are twisted)......

Wheels are DNA parts.

Dunno how well you can see these rims w/spokes.
Edit: as I look at the pic, not very well. There are better ones already posted. Sorry about that.
