Default Any RK's with Hogpro Smoothies?

I hate to be the guy that hits you guys with a thread on wheels but I've done a search on "Smoothies" "Solid Wheels" etc etc and not getting many results. Any members have 16" 18" 19" 21" Smoothies of any kind for a RK? Pics? I'm concidering the Hogpro 18's and would like to see what it'll look like before I commit?

Not worried about the so called side wind thing so no need for the warnings. I just wasn't born with the 'fear' gene.

When I changed my front wheel on the SG I put on a Colorado Custom wheel from Hog Pro. I was going to put a Hog Pro smoothie on the back but Phil at Hog Pro talked me out of it. He said it is a heavy wheel and that it would only save me about $100. I decided to buy a wheel matching my front. IMO looks better than a smoothie. I will say though a smoothie looks better than stock.

I'm probably just going to change out the front for now. There are quite a few places making the smoothie. Heck, even Weld is making one. I've always been nutz about the solid dish wheels. I'm still diggin for pics.

I dug this up from an old folder I found. I like it.

Edit: Looks like the file is too large.

I like how that looks, but does that rim behave like the fatboy solid rims? I'm refering to the cross winds? I hear they can be a bear because wind does not cross through them?

I've seen so much debate over this and one fella put it in engineering terms that just made sense to me. I decided I'm going to be my own guinea pig and give it a whirl. I'll let everyone know what comes of it. Thanks for the warning though.
