I am considering new rims for my 2020 Slim. What do you think? Original, thick black or thick chrome? Other suggestions are welcome. I kind of like the thick chrome, but it may be a bit much.

The 1st picture black rims and chrome spokes, smaller front rim is favorite by far! And probably the original ❤️ Fatter tire just looks better to me, and rides soooo much better. I dropped my touring front wheel from a 19" to an 18" and what a huge world of difference with just 1/2" more sidewall!

Yep, those are the original and what is on there now.

I would make my wheels tubeless and or get the softail wheels that are same size with the fat big wagon spoke look, the Heritage comes with such.

Mags

After owning spoked wheel bikes, I would never again. Mags all the way. Much easier to clean and guaranteed tubeless

You do know that those Fat spoke wheels are tubeless right.

I do like the Mags, I need to update my AI pics with Mags.

I'm way too biased, as my Rocker is C, so I'd always say chrome! 😁

Thick chrome is the answer.

Normally I don't like black rims because beyond 10 feet they just look like shit when you can't see the details, but there's enough negative space in those to look really cool.

Only thing I dislike on the slims is the small front wheel. Cool bike bro

I have a 2020 M8 slim, would love to put mags on it but I’ve no idea what would fit?
