I dont' like the wheels much.

This reminds me that the bike at work has solid (no spokes) wheels. If that means anything.

Well, I have learned from riding that those solid wheels are much better. I like the look of spokes - but they are a pain if you ride everyday or on long trips.

I always wanted chrome twisted spoke wheels though. And the bike I have now has that. I love it! It looks like a million dollars. Takes a couple of hours to detail... which I can handle if I need to... but man oh man do they look great!

However, I don't know if I would intentionally put them on another bike or not. I like riding more than showing.

I will see if I can find a picture of the wheels I would put on my next bike if I could choose.

Okay, something along these lines is what I would put on my next bike... if I had a next bike... and the cash for them. :-)
