Default PM Wheels - Eldorado or Hooligan?

I'm looking for a little help.
I have a 2005 Road King Custom, and am ready to put new wheels, tires, and brakes on. I think I have narrowed the wheels down to either PM Eldorados, or PM Hooligans. I haven't been able to find many pictures of Road Kings or other touring models with these wheels on. I'm hoping some of you could post or send me some pictures of your bikes if you have either of these wheels. I'm also trying to decide between an 18" or 21" front wheel - gonna be running the 360 brake. I haven't been able to find much in the photographs at Hogpro orBikers Image. The simulator on PM's web site has photo's so small it's hard to tell what things would look like. Thanks everyone for any and all help.

Go to the Performance Machine website, www.performancemachine.com, and you can see what the wheels will look like on your bike. You can choose the bike and color and then see how each of their wheels look on it.

Thanks for the help so far everyone. I think I have decided on the PM Hooligan.

Now it is down to picking between an 18x3.5 front or 21x3.5 front wheel -Anyone got any thoughts on that.

I'm looking more for input on function than opinions on appearances. Will I feel the road bumps / potholesa lot more with the 21? Any other significant ride / handling changes? Last big question - should I have any concern with the 21 wheel / tire load capabilities? This will be on a 2005 Road King Custom, with a lot of 2 up riding, and some long distance trips with luggage each year.

Thanks again for any input.
