what do you need with a 30"wheel..a semi only has a 22-24"wheel..pretty soon custom motorcycles are going to look more like a farm tractor..they are already using tractor seats and rattle can paint

I like 23" front rims, about a year ago I looked into putting one on my bike. The 30's aren't my syle. Those bikes remind me of the old "Big Wheel" tricycle I bought my first son when he was three...man that seems like a lifetime ago...

ok, i dont think that the white one is 30". maybe it is, but if the bottom is 30, then the white one looks shorter. i am not a huge fan of 21"s on a bagger, but some of them look damn sharp. so i didnt really think that 30s would be to my taste either. the black on, well, i wouldnt do it to my scoot, but too each his own. but... the white one, looks damn sharp. as does the green one. again, i still wouldnt do it to my bikes, but, tastefully done, anything CAN look good on a harley.

the question was posed a few times "why do you need 30" rims on a harley? that is stupid" well, the same was said of custom paint, custom pipes, and 21 inch rims on baggers, not too long ago. it is called customizing. or maybe upgrades. (depending on how you look at it, i guess)

why do you need a blower on a harley? why do you need legend air shocks with a compressor and push button operation? why do you need ape hangers on your bike? why do you need loud speakers and an amplifier on a harley? again, it is my bike, if you dont like it, dont f*ckin look at it...... go buy your own, and do whatever you want to it.

rant complete,

Those wheels give us something to laugh at on bike nights.
