Default Do you have matching wheels?

I had the stock 13 spoke wheels since I bought my bike new in 2003. Well I finally got a new rear wheel. It is the slotted disc chrome wheel. The Fatboy wheel.

I still have the 13 spoke front wheel. Kinda looks silly with a sweet chome wheel on the rear and the old ugly aluminum front wheel.

My questions are, what wheel matches well with the my new rear wheel, and I also have a dual front brake so does that limit my choices for a new front wheel. Pictures would be greatly apprecieated

I'm wondering the same. I'd love to get a Thunderstar front wheel, but I don't know if they make them for the "old" Sportsters.

I would say just a regular spoked wheel would go good with that. I am a bias on this though. I think spoked wheels are the only thing that really looks good on bikes.

I'd bet 95% of the bikes people have...have matching wheels.
