RE: Wheel Options
I believe it's that the profile laced have a smooth, curved rim and the laced just have an angled rim. \\; The laced are standard on many models, whereas the profile are always an upgrade of some sort.

RE: Wheel Options
As Tralfaz said - the profile laced wheels have a smooth rounded rim while the regular laced \\;wheels have a stepped rim. \\; The stepped rim is the standard wire wheel on all Harley's that have wire wheels and the spokes are, I believe, \\;cadmium plated. \\; They are also an optional wheel for some of the models that have cast wheels.
 \\;
The profile wheels are an option on many models and \\;in addition to the smooth rounded rim, they have chrome plated spokes.
 \\;
The cadmium plated spokes on the regular laced wheels will eventually (sometimes \\;rather quickly) \\;loose their shine and may even get a chalky finish to them. \\; The chrome plated spokes on the profile lace wheels will retain their shine much better. \\; You may have to polish the profile spokes from time to time, but they will stay shiny with some care.

RE: Wheel Options
I have profile laced wheels on my Ultra Classic. They look great and are much easier to clean than the other laced wheel.

RE: Wheel Options
I will post a photo of Profile wheels. \\; These 16" wheels are brand new take off's bought from UNCLE PAT . My frind bought them &\\; they are off a 07? Softail. Comes with both rotors. \\; My friend wants $400/pair complete with the new tires. I know my friend since Viet Nam (USMC) for a while and guarantee any transaction with him.
