Well Terry I went with 18's front and rear with a 140 tire.I like the look of the 18's. Like you said it shows more of the wheel. And I also used Hogpro as well, the package is due to me any day now. Good luck with your project. later,Q

NO, NO, NO!

Can I hear an "AYE"

This is where you get to be an individual, doing whatever you please and going with whatever the hell you personally like best; even if everyone else likes it to  !

I know it's a blaspheme, perhaps even a heresy, to suggest something other than chrome.  But Hogpro (and a few others) will provide their wheels without chrome or final polishing and ready for powdercoat.  Hogpro even offers some of their line in a gloss black powercoat:

It's hard not to consider what some of these might look like done in that same red powder coat the motor parts were done in.  Might be pretty sharp on the red bike.

Don I love that look of powder coating. I was looking at some spoke designs with powder coated hubs and rims it looked great. So I shall stand beside you as they cast the first stone. Later,Q

It's a real temptation for me John.  Got to admit it.  I've got pretty new tires on right now.  When this set is worn out though I'll almost certainly be doing a wheel change too.  And everytime I start wading through pictures I keep thinking "hmm, what would that look like in a powercoat?"  There are a couple I've seen that have some sharp bevel lines to their casting or forging that (I think) would make a damn dramatic looking two toned polished and powder coat effect.  Whenever I get around to doing it though there will probably be some color involved.  So when those slings and arrows start falling my way it'll be good to know at least one buddy is back to back  .

i voted Phoenix, and I think I love chrome over the powder coat.  Just personal opinion of course.  With Don's powder coated engine, I'd stop about there.  Chrome to mirror the red................................. or in Terry's choice, the haze.................. all good, can't go wrong here.  IMHO

Hmmmmmmm lemme see here.

 I THINK I've got the only 2003 Screamin Eagle Road King in existance with a set of Crocodile/Ostrich/Scottish leather saddlebags and seat, enough bling to be noticed at a Rapper's convention and enough style to attract a crowd in Hollywood.  I THINK my 2007 Mirage Orange Pearl Road Glide while it could be copied, it would take a bunch of time and effort , so at the moment,it is an original. And there's only one Big B anywhere Chip, so I guess once in awhile I'm allowed to follow the leader. But thanks for reminding me that unless you're the lead dog, the view never changes.

OK Terry, I like the Daytona, but i'm outnumbered.  Simplicity in chrome works for me.  Personally tho', I like the 16" wheels.  I just wish I could have gotten a set of those wheels the MOCO put on the 07 SEUC AND a floating brake rotor in the rear.  Of course..........I'll stick with what I have for now, since they do look pretty darn good.

Can't wait to see your's BD...I'm torn between sticking with 18's on both ends or going with a 19 on the front.  The guy at Hogpro said the 18x4.25 on the rear with a 160 radial Metz and a 19x3 on the front with radial would work well.  Did you go radial on both ends with your 18's?  Did you get matching rotors?

I'm leaning pretty heavy in the Phoenix direction, B B.  Clean looking wheel...simple is good sometimes...
