Nice scoot! I really like classic choppers. I am really Jonesin' for one of the new Sporty Iron 883's in black. My wife would shoot me for picking up another payment, 'though. I am current'y "between bikes." I gave my '83 Yamaha Seca 750 to a friend (it was given to me, so I passed it on). Now wish I had kept it, if for nothing else than as a trade-in.
Let me know your stock tire size and I'll look up the proper 16" for ya'. Or PM either of those who have the same wheel that have posted, and I'm sure they can help. I intentionally went with blackwalls for mine, because I went chrome smooties. Which is more of a '60's hot rod look than a '50's look. That's what custom is all about - you get what YOU want!

I checked out your link and that is the exact wheel i went with for my HHR. Heres a shot after:
PM me if you need some addition help, and ill help you the best i can. And i definately recommend powdercoating. Because with wet paint the heat heats up the centercap and destroys the are behind it. but if you are not getting caps either will work
