Default Looking for a 21x3-3 1/2 laced front wheel for a train.

I've been reading and reading all the treads about putting a larger front tire on a Night Train, lots of good information on here about that. My 2006 Train has the factory wheel upgrade with the billet front and rear rims, I love the look of that combo but I miss having awider front tire here on the crappy roads of NH. Most of the real fun roads are pretty beat up, lots of very deep grooves, frost heaves, missing peaces. So I've decided to put a larger front tire on.

My problem is, I want to keep the look as close to factory as possible, so I need to find a supplier who makes a laced rim 21x3 to 3 1/2, and a front fender with a similar look to the factory. I looked at some on ebay but they where pretty cheap looking, I want something nice.. any ideas?

Why not use a 90/90 -21. Will do away with a lot of what your experiencing and still use the stock fender.

I have a 90/90 metz on order for the rest of this season. But I'm still planning the 120 tire mod, from what I read it makes a big difference in the handling, especially on rough roads which we have an abundant of here in New England.
