I am thinking about getting the 180 front tire kit from Native Customs. Unfortunately I don't really want to spend an additional $1200 for their 18x5.5 rim. Anybody out there got suggestions, I would like to see them.

 

Yeah also was looking for a way to reduce costs for the 180 front tire conversion so I found a RevTech wheel on Ebay, new but without a hub for $350 + hub $315 from J&P and for half the price I have my front wheel. Also went with Led Sled guys for a blank 8" rear fender for $150 but for no extra charge the cut it to fit the front, all I have to do is fit & drill to mount and some body work before paint. So for a little over a grand with a Cobra tire I have all the parts, need to shave the fork lowers a little and shape the fork cans so the fender doesn't hit.

I did an exchange on my front wheel for a 9 spoke with ABS bushings installed, SS brake rotors and then mounted a Dunlop D402 rear tire reversed and could not be happier. I spent about $750.00
