5-Star Rockets

Does ANYONE have the 5-Star Rocket wheels? I chose them, but now I'm having second thoughts. Pictures anyone? Preferably on Chili Red, but I'll take anything!

I'm getting those too... I saw some on a MC the other day. I'm getting a CR/B. They look good! I think they are the best of the three 'base' wheels

I have them on my HB/W '06. I wish now I'd gotten holies though.

I really like those. To my eye they look so darn good. I wanted them on my MCS, but the dealer wanted something like $725 plus the cost of the install. I stayed with the V spokes that came as original equipment $000 cost.

EDIT >>> After looking at Sonic's gallery those are different than the ones I was talking about. Seems you have three wheel choices with the MC. I'd go for the delta spokes. Just my .02 here.

If these are the wheels you're talking about this is a great picture.

I had a tough decision at first between the delta-spoke and the 5-star rockets, but after seeing them in person, I like the 5-star much better... the delta spoke look too much like my current wheels and for some reason I like less spokes... The holies are just cheap looking to me!
