Airstrike wheels

Wheels look great. I was thinking about getting a set for my Roadglide. I really like the rotors. Can you tell me what kind they are...Thanks

I could'nt believe how much of a different look it gave the bike.....I like it!!!!
Now I just have to find the time to install the chrome front end to finish the job.
Sorry for not having better pictures, the weather is bad. I had to make these in the storeroom where I keep the bike.

Been thinking about the same wheels - thanks for the pics!
What rotors are those?

I put the Airstrikes on my Vivid Black Street Glide with Chrome front end kit & chrome calipers! I luv the look! To me these wheels offered more chrome for the buck! I luv them!

Thanks for the compliments on the bike, it has tranformed a little since those pics were taken. The bike now has a Reckless quick detach fairing and CVO stretched saddlebags.

I still love the Airstrikes, they look good and are the easiest wheel to keep clean I have ever had.

When I got the wheels I searched for weeks trying to find a decent rotor that matched the wheel, without breaking the bank. I found these on E-Bay for $199 for the pair. I have about 7,000 miles on them with no issues.

The rotors came from Ricks Plating in California. Don't know if he still has them or not, but they have been great so far.
