Front Wheel

Front rim
I'm looking to possibly get a new Chrome front rim for my 2010 Electra Glide Classic. I need some input please. Where to start looking to buy from? More importantly, what size? I have heard different opinions about size. Too big and I need to lower front end? Too small and the calipers and rotors hide the rim? I'd like to keep as close to stock size and not mess with lowering or changing the handling performance. Also how many of you have changed only the front since the rear is covered by the bags? Any and all input will be appreciated. Thanks all in advance.

With the proper tire 16-17-18-19 wheels all have very close to the same overall diameter. So neither will effect rake/trail handling or stance. I'm not big on HD/SE aftermarket parts but I really think Agitator wheels look good and are good bang for the buck. Having stock wheels Chromed and/or coated is another good option if ya like the look. I actually like the limited chrome & black knuckles too. There are tons of options out there but stick with a name brand. Just doing the front gives an unfinished look to the bike imho.

The weight difference (lighter is better) is the only thing that will effect ride if ya keep the overall diameter and tread width about the same.
