Spoke wheels..heavy!
But..they looked good on the monsters I've seen in the past. Mainly Euro bikes. Not sure I've seen any bikes in here or TOB with them?
All depends on what you want. I envisioned my Monster as an urban cruiser, not a track bike. The 3-5lbs pounds the Alpinas weighed over the OEM Brembos were inconsequential to me, compared to the aesthetics. YMMV.
AFAIK, the Sport Classic wheels weigh significantly more than the Alpinas, given they have steel rims. Never mind, I saw you had some aluminum paul smart rims lined up.
