Well I should post a new pick because I have the ventalator air cleaner now and sold the heavy breather because my lowers are on order. The lowers will be in the obsidian color so maybe chrome to off set all the black stuff that I currently have. Not planning anymore mods so whoever gets this next year when I sell it and get a new 2013 blue street glide cvo they won't have to spend any $ on it just ride it!

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.

Go with the black phantoms--they look great, and besides, that's what I want on it when I buy it  ;D

Of course, then you have to get black pipes, engine guard, etc.  ;)

Changing just the front wheel, black.

Changing both wheels, chrome.

Your bike is dark so chrome would stand out where as the black may tend to blend in more.

Chrome pits in our area.

Black, go powder coat over anodized.

Black with the hi polished back cut stands out. Combine that with polished rotors with a back cut center and.........

Tough decision.... ;)

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

Ain't that the truth Judy...I have that problem daily....  ::) ;D :2vrolijk_21:

Chrome all the way.  Looks great when clean and sparkly and still sparkles a bit when they start to get dirty.  Black looks good, too, but as others have stated, Chrome never goes out of style.

And as some others have stated, make sure to post pics when you decide.

Normally, I would say chrome.  But the black wheels will look hot on your bike.  Good luck choosing!

X2....what he said, you have a very dark bike now so I would add some more chrome IMO.....but that's me, I like the chrome and not everything black.
