Default Red or black wheels ?
I painted my Street Glide flat black and now I need some wheels. I want 18 inch spoke wheels, just not sure which ones. Just looking for opinions, either red powdercoated wheels with stainless spokes or black ones ? Whst do ya think?

Are you going to do some red & white pinstriping? I've always like the wide white wall with red rim, black laces and red hub. Kind of depends on what kind of look you're going for though.

I agree with rgardjr. Red with big white walls would look sweet

I don't really like white walls and the red rim idea just didn't seem like it would look good.......... until I seen this bike

Just giving you a hard time :-)

When you get pictures please post. Would like to see how the flat black looks. Thinking of incorporating that in my streetglide sinceI have it torn down.
