Primo, I've been considering these:

The black chrome seems like it would match the Harley Davidson badges on the tank perfectly. The price seems pretty damn good too considering it's both front and rear wheels.

I have 18's front and rear on my Classic. Looks are subjective so I'll leave that to the beholder, however, if you ever ride the 18's you'll never go back. The handling improves in dramatic fashion. For tires I run the Metzler ME's (60 series front).

I could go with 18's, what sucks is that the rear is buried and cleaning is a chore. Favorite wheel is the PM Judge contrast, black/machined, which is kinda similar to the stock rim. NOT crazy about a 21" front and would never go to a single rotor or back to the stock fender. Stock rim, black floaters, black fork sliders and the small fender suit the clean, stripped, hotrod look of the SG. Stayin' with what I got!

Hey Jim,
I have been in the same dilemma recently, I am getting a bunch of work done to my ride and I have been thinking of getting some new wheels, but dont want the 21's. I am undecided because I want to see how bike will look when the painting is done with my current chrome spoke wheels. But Like said above, the stock wheel on the SG or RK Custom leave a lot to be desired in the looks department.

... and replace their stock 16" wheels with .... (gasp) custom 16" wheels?
I'm looking at custom wheels and don't really see the need to go larger other than cosmetically.
I like the way my Street Glide handles just fine and the seat height is now perfect.
Don't want to mess with ergonomics or factory spec'd geometry.
So someone please convince me why I should go to 18" or 21"
Just wondering before I drop the $$$.
Thanks in advance to all responders,
Primo
