I asked the same question when looking at rims. It was hard to justify spending money on something that was barely visible.

I finally realized that if I did'nt do the rear it would probably drive me nuts. However, I have been told I am a perfectionist and tend to go overboard on things. Just ask the wife. LOL

Now that its all done I can say I am glad I did the rear too. Like has been said, you can see the rear wheel. Not much, but you can see it.

 

just put stretched bags and lower it and no one will really see the back wheel.

 

Damn Avalanche Mutt, stretched bags $1300.00 plus paint, lowerkit front and rear $250.00 plus labor if you can't handle it . Matching rear wheel Priceless IMHO

 

Great new sig picture Dave! Loving the wheels. Especially the rear one!

 

Thank you! I agonized for a long time. I wanted something that flowed with my bars. My wife is an artist and she actually found these. Worked out perfect. Pictures don't do them justice. I am glad I did the back. It would drive me crazy for them not to match. Plus the 200 looks sick from behind.

 

I did the same thing, I have a 2010 Road Glide and even without a muffler on the left you still can not tell it's the original wheel chromed unless you lay on the ground and look at it, and anybody who wants to be that critical can give me $1500 to make the change, plus find me a belt pulley to match.

 

Stretched bags are only $815 at Top Shop. $950 Milwaukee bagger. lol

 

for now i've not the matching rear wheel. It's a question of money beacause of course, you see it, less than the front but you see it. It doesn't make me nuts (maybe) for now and i know i'll change for a new one after. After seeing lots of bikes, maybe i'll stay with the 16" in the rear because it make the rear more "fat"... and it cost less too.
For the unmatching wheel... well even Yaffe did it
To finish, do as you want, as you can, it's your ride as some said

 

Just save your cash and do it right.

 

Why do you care what others think, it's your bike? I run an unmatched set on my other bike, call me tacky....I could really care less what anyone thinks.
