It is a great shame you didn't go with Mac Daddy wire wheels

Wire wheels came in they look great They did come with metal spinners , I don't see the difference between what you listed and what I purchased? It seem's to me that they are made by one huge manufacturer......hmmmm any explanation please !

From the looks of it the MacDaddy wheels use better material. I used to have a set of wire wheels just like yours. They looked great but would tend to leak so if the design is the same as the ones I had I hope you have AAA. I tried every which way to sealing the wheel but to no avail. These wire wheels were originally designed to run with tubes but even with tubes I had a lot of flat tires.

This is what I have right now, going to replace with wire spoke rims

ok I heard about the pros and cons about the wire wheels, I thought about the only way is to make sure that I take every precaution so I just ordered a set of Coker 2 1/2 WW at a decent price for $867.00 delivered ! so I will keep the OEM rim, hub caps, and have a these installed along with inner tubs. Boy ! I'm selling another Harley to take care of this expense too! LOL just kidding I was going to thin out my heard in the garage just to keep two Harley's I already sold one and I want to sell another it's getting too confusing to keep up with maintaining not only the cars but the bikes too!
