    good peeps (and not so good) of this forum...... I am slowly changing the look of the Bob and found these new rims on the HD site!!! Your thoughts would be appreciated

    Nine arching spokes spin outward from the hub and blend seamlessly with the rim to add forward motion, even while standing still. The flat profile spokes and carved webs add visual intensity, and the available polished chrome or satin black finishes let you tailor your bike to fit the mood.

    Hmm Uncle Ho,

    While these wheels are nice enough, they certainly aren't "bobbish" if you get my drift.
    I'am also looking at some new wheels for my bob and have these in mind:

    Love the look and appeal of the ride wright wheels.
    What do you think?

    They will suit the Black Look your after Ho. Also be able to put tubeless tyres on has to be a bonus too.

    If you want to retain the bob look I would definetley stick with spoked rims. every man and thier dogs are powder coating thier rims red at the moment but I think black or gunmetal grey (graphite look) would suit your bike.

    well Uncle Ho, spokes all the way.

    Doesn't this press all the "right buttons?"

    I like the rims I posted as well as those by Uncle... but not sure about the look on the Pewter Bob. Don''t necessarily like the thick spoked rims. Do like the powdercoated rims that I saw in Brisbane... what I wouldn't do to be in Karl's shoes to be able to shop around in person state side
