Sorry for the lack of clarity. I spend way too much time drooling over bikes / rims on Hogpro's website. I love it.

I ended up going with their 21x18 Dominators and luv 'em. The fellas at Hogpro are definitely a class act.

Here are two looks at the Czar's. Both in the Eclipse version. First the 18":



And the 21":



I have since put a Klock Werks Level Wrap on with the 18". It makes all the difference with an 18" wheel. No pics yet.
The Czars are hard to beat IMO for looks. One thing however, if you go with 2 rotors, and I personally wouldn't do it any other way, they do cover up a cool part of the wheel where they have the kind of razor cutout. The matching rotors show it, but they are obviously smaller and don't give the detail that the wheel does. A picture of the Czar without the rotor below:



And in the Eclipse version:

I think both selections are "too busy" for me...but if you like that style...
I thought the RC Components "Calypso" looked best.

Of the 2 you listed I like the Aspen. I like that swept look on a 21" front wheel on a Street Glide and went with the RC Calypso on my '09.. Tough choice no matter how you slice it, there are a LOT of nice wheels available...

Johnkn - did your fender require any adjustments to fit that 21"? My local dealer seems to feel compelled to "pull rank" on me anytime I talk about putting a 21" on my bike. They immediately begin talking about an aftermarket fender. They talk about the potential for "creasing" should a small rock/stone get picked up and run through the fender. I guess I can't really understand how an aftermarket is somehow going to be able to avoid rocks/stones any better than my stock fender. Has anyone else heard about this? I can't help but think they are trying to add a bit more to their bottom line by mandating an aftermarket front fender... BTW, I realize I may need to make a mod or two to get the stock fender to work - you've all opened my eyes to this potential a few posts back...
