Default Black spoked or black powdercoated wheels

Forgive me if this thread has been started before; I've been considering black spoked wheels for my ride (06' Road King). Can anyone recommend a vendor? I'm not sure if I want to go new or get a set of used rims and have them powdercoated. Has anyone done this?

Keep in mind that with a spoked wheel u won't be able to use a tire plug kit if u are in a pinch and get a flat.

dna is another company, but seems to be a hit or miss with them, i had great luck with them, while others didnt fare so well.. with sealed rim - so no tube needed.

I sell a lot of Ride Wrights. I sell them at a discount. They do seal their wheels if you want them sealed so you can run tubeless. Pm me or email me at DREW@DRVTWIN.COM and I can get you discounted pricing.

I bought a used set and had the hubs and rims powdercoated black. then relaced, trued, then sealed with aircraft pressure sealant to run tubeless for a $100.00 a wheel.

I relaced them and paid to have them trued. It was the first time I'd done this job and wanted to get it right.
