I like big front tires, but I don't like them because of how they look.

That Sportster's tire might be big, but I wonder how much of it is because of the photo angle.

If you look at their customizer you can change them out. You can go with those same wheels in a couple of different color schemes or just go with a set of spoke wheels that are 16" clones as the ones that came on the Wide Glides.
