Default HD chrome wheels??? low profile

Considering getting some wheels from the MOCO for my 15 RCS. Looking at the aggressors, 19 front and 18 rear.

How do the HD wheels hold up? I realize there are a lot of aftermarket options but I would like to finance these with the bike. I also like the way they look.

Also, will the 18 inch rear cause a much more harsher ride than the 16 inch it comes with. Not much sidewall cush with the 18 incher. I noticed the Street Glide CVO comes with these wheels. As stiff as I have heard the premium shocks are that the special comes with maby the smaller sidewall 18 inch rear might not be such a good idea.

Any and all input appreciated.
Thanks for your time,
Varooom

The lower profile tires are going to give you the harsh ride.
Taller rubber and smaller diameter rims will give you the better ride.

I've got the agitators 19/18 front and back, suspension is stock, and I've got no complaints after adjusting the rear suspension appropriately. I had to turn in a bunch of clicks so it wouldn't bottom out, but I'm 310.

I have same setup as Don. It did slightly affect the ride but it is minimal.

BTW, whatever we think about HD prices, the wheels are a bargain compared to aftermarket. Mine Agitators were $800/ea before my 20% discount (which you should negotiate) and aftermarket started at around $1200/ea.

Can't comment on the rim size / tire sidewall questions. I did just install a set of HD Chrome Impeller wheels (17" front , 16" rear ) along with HD polished rotors for the front rim. Very satisfied with the quality of the HD wheels and the chrome plating.

Just so you are aware, most dealers are set up with us and can roll a set of wheels purchased from us into the financing as well.

Let me know what dealer you are working with and what you like and I'll see what I can do for you.
