Question! Ordered the Heartland 180 kit for my 96 softail, but have wheel questions. I know you have to go to a narrow belt and pulley from 2000-2005 years, but Heartland gives the impression that their rim is designed specifically for their kit to ensure proper clearance. I'm good with that until I get their $999 price tag for rim and tire. Anyone with experience here that knows where else I can get a wheel that will for sure work with this kit? 40 or 60 spoke in an 18 x 5.5 size is preferred, but just want to avoid parting with another grand if there are other options that will for sure work with their kit on my 96. Thanks!!

 

Have you bought the Heartland kit yet? You can get kits to put a 200 on a 96 and use the stock belt and pulley and any "normal"18 x 5.5 will work. I found one on Ebay for $350 but they are less than a grand if you pay full price.

 

Actually i have not. Just called for the quote today and was planing on ordering when I'm back in town next week. I'm very interested in what you know about a 200 kit off ebay. Any specifics or know where to find? I looked and don't see anything that jumps out at me, but then again i'm new to the whole wide tire thing and may not know what exactly to look for??
