Default Touring models wheels

Last year, after waiting a long time, I bought the Road King I had always wanted. It's a 2005 FLHRCI. I have been enjoying the ride and gradually personalizing the bike to my liking. What I'm wondering and hope you guys can advise is; I'm really not crazy about the spoke wheels and wide whitewalls, is there much of a market where I might swap/trade them for stock, cast alloy wheels from the Road King or other touring models?

You can find a set of stock wagon wheels pretty cheap, then just sell your wire ones.

Not sure if there is much market for '05 wire wheels, but you have a pretty good range of choices, most touring wheels through 2008 should work on your bike.

I ended up saving my wire wheels and white walls and they're just taking up space in the garage...

There are owners out there who would love your wire wheels and others who are keen to sell their cast wheels. You can even place an advert in the HDF classifieds wanting to do a swap, sale, wanted.
