Default Recommended Wheels: Easy to Clean and Easy on the Eyes

I'm thinking of getting new wheels for my '09 flhtcu that would be easier to clean than the stockers & look good too. I've been looking at the Harley wheels but would consider non Harley wheels too. So far the mirror chrome Thunderstars look like they'd be pretty easy to maintain. Any suggestions?

I had the stock polished aluminum on my 10 EGC and my new Limited has the same wheels except they are chrome. Much easier to take care of and look awesome. I think you can buy the set new in chrome for less than $1k. They are around $450 each I think. That's a good buy if you asked me.

I absolutely love those black and chrome agitators! That's an investment I'm going to make in the very near future.

Ultra Limited on my Road King. The chrome sure beats trying to keep the OEM's clean and got 'em right off of another guys bike before they left the shop, at a great price.

I replaced my 28 spoke stockers with the Harley Airstikes.

Soooo much easier to clean 5 spokes instead of 28.

Also the 18" front looks better on the bike.

Ditched the "Knuckle" wheels for Harley 9 spokes. Look great and clean in 20 minutes instead of 3 hours.
