Not always liking many black wheels but those have a real good look to them, like they will be a classic someday. How are they for sizes and bolt patterns.

I think they're the same. The first pic was a computer generated image. Also, the 15" rims have a different look with the shorter spokes then the larger diameter...

They went to the powder coaters on Wednesday to get a wrinkle black (like Harley-Davidson motors) and will be rivited to the hood. Probably towards the back fo the hood near the center. I will cut the hole in the hood and I want it to clear the under hood brace. The brace dictates the location of the vents...

I have an 09 Street Glide and I had the chrome dash powder coated in the wrinkle black... doesnt match Harley wrinkle but it looks great....

The ultimate goal is to Line-X the body inside and OUT... black on the inside floors and RED on the body.....
