... I just did an elgin with black rims and tires and the majority of what i have are black alloy wheels. may not go with a blue bike. Do have a couple chrome sets but they arnt skiptooth. Can paint a set ,but to take them apart and then respoke and true two rims is work,and I'm in the lazy mode right now. May take the easy way out and black alloy with regular sprocket. One thing about alot of choices is you can just keep changing and come up with something . Its going to be hard to miss with the frame and seat you have.

black and blue go well together IMHO. see:

those wheels are black.
 
They do look good on your bike Thatismytruck ,but your running whitewalls and I just got my 6 Kenda flames that are blackwall.Hummmmm wonder if my lbs has any whitewalls left on his going out of business sale.

Hey thanks for the appreciation everybody...as you know I think It cures the vainess that we all suffer from. :roll: And Frank Im glad you like them. I'm anxious to see how your elgin turns out. I still have one nailed to my shop roof that I was saving for a special occasion. I may have to yank it down and start it as soon as I finish this blue Road king. :) :D :lol:

They came off of a roadmaster ...just not this one.
Ok for thatismytruck....black rims and blackwalls. Looks pretty good. Forgot the part where the front axel is smaller and you have to grind out the forks some. Lots of fun when its already painted. Seem to have an overabundance of blackwall Kenda Flames :roll:
