I searched, but couldn't find an existing thread dedicated to one of the most important, but often overlooked components of a bicycle.......THE WHEEL. I think the wheel itself is often overlooked as an area of potential added detail of an overall bicycle, and can be considered a form of art, all by itself. I've seen many nicely customized bicycles that still sport the traditional, age old silver 3 cross wheels that have been around forever. On the other hand, I've seen many cool looking customized wheels with custom details which seem get lost within the overall picture of a bike.
So, I figured it would be nice to have a thread full of nothing but pics showing just a wheel, with a sample of one of the many things that can be done, and has been done, to deviate from the basic all silver, 3 cross spoked wheel, whether it's something you created, or something you found while scrounging the web. There's lots of cool ideas and products, out there, but let's put them all in one place to aid members who may be looking for cool, and/or unusual wheel ideas.
I'll start with a wheel I recently altered for one of my rigs: You can view the whole bike at http://rooski.smugmug.com/photos/i-DWKhMJ7/0/XL/i-DWKhMJ7-XL.jpg
