My new wheels are in... Ride Write "Exoticas" 21 x 3.5's front 16 x 3.5 rear... with Avon Cobra 120/70/21 front + 150/80/16 rear.

Notice center of wheels are smooth. No center rise. I'll post a pic as soon as i install them.

I've hit a few pot holes with my prior DNA's running a stretched on 90/90/21 tire. And they are taco'ed bent... So it was time to buy again.

 

don't the big wheel guys worry about that, when having such a huge wheel with less air and a thinner tire. don't they worry about the rim bending?

 

Yea my old DNA's are crazy bent.... i'll post a pic of them also when i do the swap out. I've hit some pot holes pretty hard a couple times. I have a set of Metzeler tires with about 300 miles on them. 90/90/21 + 150/16 rear. Saw that Avon makes a 120/70/21. So grabbed them so maybe with a bigger tire up front. I hope i wont have a bent wheel again. Wheels are pricey to replace!

 

Looking forward to seeing them on.

Those are on my list down the road.

 

very nice!

 

maybe some day stock wheels will be back in style, lol

 

Sharp looking wheels. Make sure and post up some pictures when you get them installed.

 

Another option for a completely smooth lip with no step at all is the Sinister Big Phat Daddy for those who are not aware of this.

They take a smooth lip wheel blank and cut out the center, drill and harden it, chrome or powder coat and then lace the spokes in. Not inexpensive but a super clean look for those who are extremely particular about their wheels.

to rich for my blood, but badass looking wheels. but I love the stock fatboy wheels anyway, always have

 

Hope you have better luck with yours then I did with mine. First front wheel they sent me had the wrong bearings in it. Took a week for them to send abs bearings. Then after getting it mounted we noticed the lip had a bend in it. 2weeks to send another wheel. Got it mounted up and 2 miles down the road abs light comes on. Guess what wrong bearings again. Bike has been in the shop for the last 3 days waiting on bearings from them. Beautiful wheels but I must say I'm a little disappointed in the lack of quality control. From all the reviews I read that convinced me to spend the extra money on RW wheels I expected a lot more from them.

Your wheels look great by the way can't wait to see em mounted up
