Black Rims

[iaff84]

Came across this look in an add for sale of trike. Wondered what the T Glide would look like with flat black stock rims. I like it and think I have a winter project now.

Now I like that, wish I thought of that before going chrome.

Black is just what my mechanic recommended I paint mine, since they are pitted and look like hell.

I really like the Look !! Sort of a whole 'stealth' thang going on there !

 

[Bruce]

that does look nice -- if I don't win the wheel giveaway I think I'll have mine done

 

[jcolson]

I'll stick with stock or chrome. Never did like blacked out stuff. Some things look ok. Just not my thing.

I am going to have to talk with my local powder coat guy that has a large enough oven to do mine. Was thinking the silver vain (silver / black) but now that I see these in satin black I like the look. Now wish my bike was black and not Merlot/Black. Still think it would look good.
What type lug covers does those wheels have? Anybody know?

Those are Harley center covers......I just ordered a pair off of EBay for 40 bucks. Part number 83841-09

I think the baby moons would look great with the black rims..

If my trike was black, I'd definitely do it. I like the look! ThumbUp

 

[trikermutha]

I wonder how gloss black wheels would look on a red trike with gloss black baby moons?

And you gotta have wide whitewalls with that combo. !ThumbUp

I am going to try the satin black on the stock rims then add the chrome HD lug covers.
But, I also like the regular rim, baby moon look.

Dennis,
I like the look, on a black bike. It is very unique. You should go for it.

It's like a twist on a classic Servi-Car look. Not a bad thing if that is the look you are going for. I don't think the factory wheels are the hottest looking wheels but I do like them a lot. Since I didn't win those PMC wheels I plan on adding the hub caps (not the baby moons).

I have had to put this on back burner for now, have too many irons in the fire at this time. At least it is not off the stove.
I am not into the total "black out" on bikes but I also do not like the look and finish of stock wheels. This seems a good option.

Just exchanged mine for stock wheels in chrome they look a lot better than stock wheels.

Dennis,
So you got it on simmer? :laugh:. That's cool, nothing wrong with that. Keeps it hot while you concentrate on the rest of the meal. Being a self proclaimed chef I can appreciate that.

Wait, are we talking wheels or dinner here. Damn, now I am hungry........:gah:

So the same design only in chrome? I thought I checked.....don't remember those............I bet they are nice looking! Any pics?

Very unique. Just not my look. You see it a login performance sports cars. I don't like it on those cars either. I think you loose the definition of the wheels when they are black. Just my opinion.

Are those the same as the ones that come on the F150 Harley truck? Those are the center covers I'm getting for my wheels as soon as Willy Shinny sends my new chromed wheels. They have some more on ebay, but say they are the F150 HD center wheel cover. They don't give a part number. I think I'll send them a question. Sure save a lot of money.

If you want to see how they look Rob, go to HarleyDavidson.com and in 2012 bikes go to Trikes. go to the last selection in the drop down, click on customization. I think they look sharp in chrome. Willy Shiny does a swap out a lot cheaper than buying from HD. He also claims to do a better chrome job??? Hope so!

Here is what the harley wheels look like chromed

 

[rhino 2]

I ride though mud, sand ,salt. So my wheels are a disaster i don't waste time trying to polish them anymore , I think I'm just going to paint them black.

 

[jcolson]

Those chromed out stock rims look awsome!
