Default whats common practice on wheel change?

Was wondering when one changes their front wheels to say 18" or 21" do you keep the stock rears or do you change them as well to match the front..

im in the same boat as you. think im gonna just do the front this year. got an brand new bike and want the front done bad. but gonna wear the rear off before i even think about changing rims. you can see some of the rear but not really much.

Buy same size rear rim and put your stock tire on it,You can see more of the rear than you think.

I always do matching wheels, rotors and pully on any upgrades. The bike doesn't look finished with mixed accessories.
