Firestons Champion de Luxe are doing OK as long as you learn (quickly) to deal with on the road. You can find them in the USA through Coker Tires.
My grill is an italian made and to be honest it's more like a Rough Crafts copy than the Headwinds one.
Here are some great headwinds grills 7" that fit our stock slim headlight and are easy to install, in case anyone is interested in one:

I instaled the spoke covers after finding a thread on the Dyna section. The go on pretty easy, just cut to size and slide them on. The have slit cut in them so you don't have to disassemble anything.

Cool. Have you heard of plasti-dipping instead of powder coating? Its great for any part of your bike that doesnt get really hot.

On top of protecting your paint and being WAY cheaper (6 bucks a can), the best part is you can just peel it off if you ever change your mind or want to try another color.

I plan to plastidip my wheels soon. Got the cans, just need to figure out when I have time to take off the wheels.

I love the look. There are guys here that paid a lot of money to swap to fat spokes and this is a really inexpensive way to do it. The slit cut is smart man.

Im gonna buy some. So is there a certain width or size I need to ask for? Or is all the same width and you just cut it to the size you need? How much did you need to use to cover two wheels (I assume thats your stock slim wheel)? It will help me figure out how much to buy.

They are all the same size, just cut to length and slip on. It's pertty simple to do and inexpensive, if you have a motorcycle jack it makes it much easier.
