Default 21 inch wheel

Is it tacky to put a 21 inch chrome wheel on the front of my 09 street glide and leave the rear stock? Is that tacky

Personally, I think a spoked 21 incher would look cool. I have never got into these wild cnc machined 21 inch wheels. Give me a Softail style front wheel with the skinny tire and I will think it rocks.

I've asked the myself the same question: Answer: *** em- no its not tacky, so do it how you want to do it. You hardly see the rear wheel assembly any way. Just my .02...

Yes, it's definitely tacky.

It is hard to spend so much cash on a rear wheel that can only be seen from distance. The thought crossed my mind but in the end I would know and I didn't think I could deal with it. So I spent the cash. Your bike, do what you want.

Mine rear is stock in the sig pic.

It's since been changed to a stock wheel that's been chromed.


Tacky?...I do alright in the looks department. and if people dont like it, they can make my payments and change it

I put a Weld 18" on the front and decided to save some cash and go with a solid mirror chrome on the rear.You see very little of the rear wheel anyway.i opted to stay with a 16" out back to further cut the cost.I think it looks good but hey,it's my ride! Remember it's your ride,do what you like,and the hell with the rest. Good luck
