+1 on the 18" rear wheel, definitely fits the bike more.

Also, the black hubs are a subtle thing but they really look a whole lot better than the silver originals. Looking at your bike makes me think the hubs should have been painted black from the factory -- pretty sure they were black on the original 60's bikes.

Edit: Also, why are the Sun rims better than Excel? They definitely look good but I thought Excel were considered top rims and I'm just curious what Mr. Buchanan said.
