Default Need Help deciding/ New Wheels

My bike is a 2006 Heritage Classic.

Courtesy of the HOHS cruise, I now have a certicate for a new set of wheels for my Heritage Classic, from Ego Tripp.
I really like blade style wheels but don't think they will lookright on my bike.
Greg from Ego Tripp also recommencs I go with 18s.
Anyone have an idea on style.

Im kinda diggin the Grand national, the cane, and the Bergeron in the chrome. I like the Ritelun in the contrast cut. What color is your bike. What sizes will they let you go with? If I had a heritage, I would stuff a 21" front and an 18" rear on it.

Fat daddies would be my choice too but I didnt see them on the Ego Tripp website. If they are available, that would be my choice in a 21 front and 18 rear.

Greg said I can pretty much get what I want and it will include Matching rotors, and Pully.
Here are 3 of my choices I also like the Cane.

My bike is black with Harley Chrome flame add ons

Okay I missed the Bergeron and that looks nice.
But do you think it is a bit wild for the Heritage.
Look like it would match up nice to my Chrome flame theme

Looking at the offerings on the Ego Tripp website, it seems like they have a more modern approach to their designs that would fit on a custom chopper.

Whatever you decide, it's your bike.If you want anopinion, here's mine: Keep your Heritage lines classic. I would select your first choice, the Decades. They are the most simplistic and classic looking.

Congratulations on the free wheels!

Ride Safe!

Dinger!

IF I were U, 21 x 3.5 front and 18 x 4.25 rearf with fat daddy spokes, but if you are only choosing from the wheels listed I'd get the first ones. I think they are the decade. The 21 in the front gives the bike a whole new look that is so Phat...
