Default Lace wheels on Street Glide?

I guess I'm old school, I like lace wheels. Has anyone put OEM-style and OEM-size lace wheels on a Street Glide? Think Heritage Softail wheels on a SG, not aftermarket wheels. Any pics?

It was an option to have spoke wheels on any touring model, you might be able to find someone that would be willing to trade you. A lot of people with RKCs like to go to cast wheels so they can plug a flat tire on the road. Heritage wheels won't work, will need to be off a touring model 08 & newer. Put an ad in WTB or WTT classified.

I'm not sure if this will show up or not, but here goes. See if this is what you're after.

The new 2012 laced wheel looks awesome in person. Curved with no "seam" for the spokes to tie into if that makes sense. When moving it looks like the wheel is floating.

I looked on the MoCo website, and the pic they show of a SG with lace wheels looks like it has much larger brake rotors than the cast wheels. You can barely see the wheels. What's up with that?

I dont know what the deal is, but adding air to the rear really sucked. the front was OK, not great but Ok.
