In my opinion, I have always liked the "beefy" front tire look on baggers. The 18" still keeps that look. If I were in your position and thinking about spending money on another rim, I would have to go with a matching rear rim. I know there are many who say" you can`t see the rear rim". But for me it would have to match. I would see it and have to match the front.

Ride Safe,

Mike

Cant have one tire in the gold mine and the other in the trailer park. Make'em match and keep the 18's... My vote anyway.

I am starting to lean towards keeping the 18in that I have now. Either way at some point the rear tire will match. But thanks for the compliments. Like some of you said, stcik that extra money into other things. Like it ever ends? lol

Keep the 18 on the front and get a matching one for the rear.
