Ok... I am making some plans for a new set of wheels for the scooter and debating between the 16/16 and 18/18 setup. So tell me, which way would you go and why ?
16's have more rubber on the ground and is definately more rotor that I know....

 

I would go with the 18/18 combo. The looks are definately better and the handling will be a more solid. I can't imagine that you would notice any difference in the "softness" of the ride between the 2 sidewall differences.

 

18/16 with the 18 being a low profile.

 

Leaning towards 18/18 but wanted more input....

 

I'd go with a 16 rear and a 17 or 18 front. Really like what HD did with the new touring bikes with the 17" fronts. I just don't like the 18 rears, the tire looks too small to me, IMHO.

when i changed to a chrome wheel on my ultra...I kept the 16/16 wheels. some like the slight ride differance by changing wheel sizes, some do not. I have changed wheels sizes on other bikes and IMOH, their will be a ride/handling differance.

 

My choice was 18/16. Runner up was 21/18. Stock size was last choice.
