Was graciously gifted a nice set of five 16x8 FN 5-stars by a local member. Stock wheels need refinishing, which will be easy with them naked, but I think I’m keeping these on. Big fan of the stockers, but these were a top choice I’d looked at before. Tires are 315s.
Had to remove a little black overspray, so I got it off, wet sanded everything with fine grit, and refinished with satin clearcoat. Came out looking nearly new. They stick out just a little more than before, maybe 1/2”, which is perfect to make them flush with the flares.

That I don’t recall, but they were also nice. Nicest cruiser in town, no doubt.Nice gift. What wheel is the local member running now?
Regretting powder coating mine black after seeing theseReally dig the simplicity of the FN 5-Stars...looks great! Let me know when you want to re-gift them.
Don't sleep on a set of refinished stockers though...

The new wheels are Black Rhino Stadiums, I wanted to move up to 17,s to get specific tires which are Toyo AT III 255x80x17. The wheels are 9" wide which are a bit wide but with about 10,000 miles on them, they work good. No pics until I find a supermodel to operate technical devices, or maybe Spenser.That I don’t recall, but they were also nice. Nicest cruiser in town, no doubt.

I like those a lot. Basically almost looks like modernized versions of the stockers.Was graciously gifted a nice set of five 16x8 FN 5-stars by a local member.

They are very similar to the SCS F5's I have on mine. Except the "arms" of the F5's are more rounded on the edges. Gives a slightly different look.I like those a lot. Basically almost looks like modernized versions of the stockers.
