Default 2012 Street Glide Wheel questions

Hey Guys,
First post....
Looking for some help/feedback. I have a 2012 streetglide that I am getting ready to do a wheel package on. I want to do a 21" front wheel.

I am looking for some good wheel sources I am sure I am missing some of the manufacturers out there. I am going to the usual places but cost is pretty high.

I am looking to do aluminium from/rear with matching rotors and air cleaner. I also want to drop the front down. Any pictures or suggestions would be great.

To my knowledge Performance Machine is the only outfit making matching A/C Covers. Popular companies discussed on this forum for wheels are HogPro, Renegade, Wanaryd, Costal Moto.

I have a complete 21" front wheel set-up with 1k miles on it that will bolt right on your bike. ABS bearings already in it. Rotors/carriers, all of it. It is a Hog-Pro Primitive Black magic. Wheel quality is unreal good. The anodizing is just 1st class.

$900 and your wheel/tire as a trade.

I'm in Florida also so if you're willing to come to Daytona I can do the swap here.

Here's my email tgriffin36@cfl.rr.com

By no means am I putting anyone else's wheels down, but I spent MONTHS comparing wheels, designs, prices, shipping, and even the pros and cons between forged and cast for price reasons (but you definitely want forged). I scoured the internet and every manufacturer for the right fit and sizes. Depending on your year, some sizes work better than others. Since your bike bike is a '12, I am completely adamant that you should get the 21x3.5 inch Front wheel and the 17x6.25 inch rear so you can run a 200 mm wide tire. This is the combo I have. It is amazing. Handles as good as stock and looks better. I have had zero problems with this set up and have almost 4,000 miles on it.I was told that the 18 inch rear wheel makes the new bikes wobble and if you go with an Avon or Dunlop tire, they only come in a 55 mm sidewall ratio (makes the tire taller). I am running Metzlers and they are fantastic. I got my wheels from HogPro and couldn't be happier. I got the classic Panther five spoke design with matching rotors which looks freaking dynamite on my bike, and have seen several A/C options from various manufacturers that would go great since it is a basic five spoke design. It is also my understanding that HogPro somehow uses Perf. Machine wheels so you know they are awesome wheels. I get compliments and questions every time I go out. Some people ask me if it is an option from the factory and other people ask me if they are the new RC Comp or Colorado Customs wheels. I shine the **** out of them constantly since it is a big investment, but anyone can keep their wheels clean. What makes it even better is I was able to sell my stock wheels, tires, and rotors, for almost $600 on Ebay, so I got some of the money back.

I had a minor issue with one of the tires having a scuff in it when it came to my house but HogPro completely made it right by providing me with a brand new tire after I sent my old one back. They were fantastic to deal with and I highly recommend them to anyone. Great price based on what everyone else was charging, the exact fit that I wanted with no fitment issues at all, outstanding customer service, and great products that showed up at my door a day before they said it would. Ask for Phil, he is a cool cat and will answer any question you have and call you back if you ask.

Again, there are a ton of great wheel manufacturers out there, but my best price, fit, and experience was with HogPro. Highly recommended!!!
