Set Your Ride Apart-Get Custom Harley Wheels!

By Jill Sprouse

A Harley Davidson motorcycle is the ultimate for any motorcycle enthusiast. And what better way to accessorize than with custom Harley wheels? Have you stayed away from custom wheels because you think they are out of your price rage? Consider the following advice and then start looking for the ultimate custom Harley wheels.

One thing that has driven the cost of custom wheels up over the years is the manufacturing costs. But, with the evolution of technology over the past few years it's become cheaper for the manufacturer to produce the wheels. Lower production costs mean savings to you.

If you are seriously considering buying custom Harley wheels formulate a plan. The first thing to think about is how much to spend. Generally, custom wheels are going to cost anywhere from $1500-2000. Now, don't get scared right off the bat. That is a huge expense. But think of it as an investment, not an expense. Anytime you add a custom accessory to your ride it's going to increase the value. Take your time and do some research, on pricing and styles, then make your decisions.

Custom Harley wheels come in various finishes and styles. More than you can image-you will see once you start your research. Things to have in mind when you begin shopping are what type of finish is best for your bike and your climate? If you live in a wet, salty climate you might consider a polished wheel because they wear better in these types of climates. Chrome wheels are really the ultimate finish and they are easy to clean. But, they don't wear well in some climates. Take all of these things into consideration before your purchase.

Spending this much money on a Harley accessory is not something to be taken lightheartedly. Take some time to think about your motorcycle and its build. Think about your budget and what you really can afford. It's not going to do you any good to deck your ride out with custom Harley wheels if the bank is only going to repossess it for non-payment! Make a careful decision before you buy!

Spend a little time looking through custom wheel publications. Buy a few motorcycle magazines (you probably already have them laying around if you are a true motorcycle fan!). Look at the custom wheel ads-they are everywhere. Also, use the internet. Search Yahoo or Bing and you will find thousands of pictures of wheels. Get an idea for what is out there. Heck, it doesn't cost money to browse!

I'm sure if you found this article you know enough about the internet to have heard about Ebay. That's another resource for researching and buying custom Harley wheels. Ebay publishes the Seller's history and that's a great way for you to screen out the good from the bad. Don't be bashful, ask questions of the Seller. They don't mind. They are there to try to sell you a product. Make them work for the money! - 30329
