Default New wheels are on, but work left.

I finally got my 23" on, but still don't know if I like the change. I like the look, but it sure changed the ride. Its a lot harder to steer with all the weight out front. My Indy shop recommends lowing the front with FLH tubes and springs vs. a progressive drop in. Any opinions on this? I know I need to lower the front and the back soon.
My Vees are white, but I did have one small pin hole brown spot. My main concern was how Ride Wright bunged up the whites mounting them.

Story808 has some experience with the 23' out front, maybe he'll chime in!!! Looks killer though, a lot of rim and the Red really stands out! Not to pick apart your sled but when you get some extra cash you should get the rotors and pulley too, they will really pop I think!

I cringed when I saw the pulley today. The winter list is getting longer.

Looks good. I think the pulley would look sick if you painted the outer rim red

Those rims really look great. I do agree with the previous posts though. It looks a bit too tall, needs to be lowered. Still, very nice.
