Default pics of 18" wheels?

Hey Guys,
I was wondering if anybody has pictures of a Deluxe or Heritage with 18"laced wheelsor even just an 18"on the front? I'd like to fill out my front fender a little more but don't want to go all the way to a 21". I still like to have the balloon tire effect to some extent.

Spike:

I don't have a pic for you, but did you ever consider a 19" since you don't want to go 21"? I think the 19 looks good, but I am a bit partial to the 21.

18" looks good too. It's very common to go to 18", but a 19" would make you stand out a bit more.

Here is a 19" front (though it isn't a wire wheel) from the HogPro site:

19" would be cool with me too... so long as I could somewhatretain the fat tire look. I'm not looking for the agressive lo-pro racing tire look. I like that look, just not forthis bike. I'm looking for a more subtle change. Odds are, I'll end up just getting another set of 16" but with 60 spokes. If I'm gonna spend the dough, I want to be sure first though.

I'll have a picture this weekend of a 19" front, and 18" rear on my fatboy. They are billet wheels and of course a little different fender, but youll get the idea. I was going to have them on this past weekend, but a late ups train delayed my getting them until yesterday.

Shoot, you're in Houston, too. Maybe I could just see them in person sometime over some cold ones.

Spike...I too contemplated on a 21" front wheel myself because of the tire size, so I went with a19" and I really like the look. I will be orderinga customized 60 spoke soon. Here's a pic of a 19" billet on my scoot with a 130-70-19 Metzler. BTW, rears are 18"

Thanks for the compliments. Don't get me wrong, I love the way my scoot with the shoes I have on now and will most likely keep them handy.

Bars are Carlini

Thanks for replying PhatDLX, but your pictures aren't showing up. It's just the little boxes with the red "X" in the middle.

Edit: Never mind. They are showing up now. I don't usually like billet wheels, but those are very nice and tasteful. They are actually some of the best looking ones I've ever seen. Do you know if anyone makes a fatter front tire to fill up the fender just a bit more? I'm trying to get rid of my "overbite". Your bike looks great.
