Default Price on Wheels???

Okay, now that I have made my decision to buy the wheels before the big bore kit. Is there anywhere to pick up a set of wheels for less than like $2000.00? I found the DNA Mammoth 52's and have pretty much decided on them, but I do like the billet type wheels. Anywhere to get them a little more reasonably than 2 grand?

You can get just the Mammoth 52 spokes in a set of 2 for about $850 on ebay from KC Int'l. That is just the wheels so you will still need to get tires and rotors and pulleys if you choose. Here is a link.

Just make sure you get 3/4" bearings instead of whatever are in the bagger wheels.

thanks anubiss, I saw that on Ebay. I also called and spoke to those guys and they emailed me some pics of a fatboy with a 21" front wheel. Will be going with the 18" though. Probably will go all chrome instead of the black spokes too. I am waiting on an email back for the price of the tires. Probably go with the Metzler M880's.

You will also need to get a new rotor and pulley, don't use the stock crap.

That's why I recommended HOGPRO. Phil would set you up with the complete package, everything mounted and ready to be installed on your bike.

Yeah, I love those Panther wheels. They would be my first choice but $2150 for a set of wheels, pulley and rotors when i can get the Mammoth Spokes wheels, pulley and rotors for about $1150 is hard to justify. I like both sets of wheels A LOT, I don't like the Panthers twice as much as the other as the price would reflect.

Decisions are the worst...

Go through the Hogpro Softail Gallery, there's plenty of Fatboys with various wheel combinations. http://www.hogpro.com/showpage.php?page=gallery1.htm

I have looked through their gallery several times. Very nice bikes in there and those wheels are great. I think the mag wheels are going to be little steep for my budget. But that's okay b/c I will definately be happy with the Fat Spoke Wheels. I kinda think they may fit the look I am going for better anyway. I keep waffling on the black spoke/chrome rim vs. chrome spokes and rims thing, however. I guess chrome is the "safer" choice.
