Default Rear Wheel Recommendation

I'm looking to run a 200 rear tire on my '13 Wide Glide and am looking for a black 18 X 5.5" - 40 Spoke to run a 200/50/18 tire.
I was considering a RideWright wheel, but didn't know if maybe someone had a better option/recommendation. Thanks in advance!

Mike

Wondering if Jirah has a hoop that can be relaced, like their 21" x 3.25" front?

Ok. Check this out Dna tradition spoke wheels 40 spoke 18"x5.5" black powder coated rim, smooth spoke. $540.00 I'm guessing A new hoop powder coated, new spokes, laced and trued plus shipping back and forth. That's got to be 450-$500 bucks. http://www.harleycustom.com/US_DNA-W...173_1074_13108

Fitment will be tight. A 180/55/18 is a good alternative unless you really desire the extra width. Same size as vrod so a few more choices out there for tire brands. DNA has a 1 year warranty and have been known to be spotty in quality. Sinister phat daddy will run closer to 800-900 range but has a lifetime warranty against mfg defects. There is a reason hogpro doesn't sell DNA. Not advising not to buy one as the cost difference is significant , but you get what you pay for.

Thanks for the heads up!
