Can't go wrong w/ chrome!

But for your scoot, I like the Black phantom rims.

Good Luck and post some pictures.

For me it's Chrome all the way, never been a big fan of the black wheels although some of them do look pretty good on some bikes. To me your bike has enough black/dark look already, needs a little flash. But thats just me, I'm old school.

I think the chrome wheels will accensuate the exhaust and other areas of chrome on the bike as you already have enough dark components including the brake calibers.  Actually I think your stock Agitators are very nice, but since you have the coin to throw at it, what the hay!

X2. Chrome will flow better with the chrome pipes.  If black pipes, than do black rims.  As they say.., "Your purse should always match your shoes".   :P

Black....gives the bike both an attitude and its own personality while keeping with overall theme.

Chrome is nice too but those blacked out Whistler's are in a league all their own.

Dead heat, time for you to "man up" and make a decision.  Both would look good IMO.  SJ Ron

IMO it depends on what your thoughts/direction will be in future mods... if you are planning on going w/a stealth (blacked out) theme then I would think the black wheels would be the way to go... if you are thinking going with a more chrome/black theme then the chrome would be the way to go. Either way it depends on what you have planned/thinking about for future mods. :nixweiss:

Black is ahead by 1 right now.  Close the poll and buy the wheels!

I was the second black vote.  With the phantom cut, they will look really sweet with the air cleaner, engine fins, etc. on that bike.  Outside of the exhaust, there is not a lot of chome flash on your SERG to begin with, so I think the chrome wheels would be overbearing.  Whoever heard of matching the wheels to the exhaust, anyway?  There have been plenty of other bikes the MoCo has put out with black wheels and chrome exhaust and it looked fine.  That's a new one on me. :nixweiss:
