Default Fat spoke 16 inch wheels

Anybody gone the fat spoke route (Ride Wright, DNA Mammoth, Ultima, etc.) and kept the 16 inch wheel size? I'd like to see some pics, I like the fat spokes, but I'm not sold on bigger wheels.

Here is the first pic I found. Nikonf8 is his forum name. I know it is not a bagger but it gives you an idea. I'll see what else I can dig up.

And another. Maybe not. I thought it was spokes until I looked closer. Enough posts from em for now on this subject.

you can barely see the spokes with a dual disc set up, unless you go to a 18 or 21 front rim. I have the 21" dna and 18 rear on my roadglide

A buddy of mine has the 16" front anf back on his Ultra and you can barely see the spokes due to the stock dual rotors

Thanks for the help Robert, I'll check out your site to find some baggers to I can see what the 16's look like with dual discs up front. Can you do Sinister wheels with black rims/hubs and chrome spokes? I didn't see that option on your site.

Does your buddy have the stock rotors?

We can do black rims and hubs but the spokes on fat spoke rims are all stainless steel as chrome spokes would rust very quickly. It is the same with all brands of these wheels. It is true that with a 16" rim a lot of it is blocked by the dual rotors, however with the big daddy rotors you can see the spokes through the rotors as they have 26 holes in them.
