    Hey Fellas,

    Im thinking of getting some mag wheels for my Fatbob, I want to keep the wide tires or as wide as I can stay. Iv looked at the catalogues at rollies but im after some suggestions to keep the 180 rear and 130 front but going into the bigger 17-18" but im guessing you will then have clearance issues on the guards?

    Cheers

    Jethro I went with the HD Stingers, up a size but lower profile tires, no clearance issues
    180/55 18 and 130/70/18

    I've got the same as ozymax except with 200 rear. No clearance issues, handles fine, reasonably easy to clean.

    actually they are almost maintenance free. very occasionally they get a wash and that's when I notice they needed attention. And because they are open and slightly bigger they are easy to get at. Also easy to check the tire pressure.
    I fitted lyndal pads which make a huge difference

    mate thats $4k for a pair of wheels, that is to much IMHO, look for other options, polish, powdercoat
