Default Custom wheels for 07 WG
I am looking to change the stock spoke wheels that came on my 2007 Wideglide but can't find much choices for the rear wheel (17'' x 4.5'') besides the deuce wheel
Anyone have any suggestions

There are quite a few options out there. Are you looking for a solid rear? Check out hog pro and bikers image to get ideas. Is your rear a 160mm? I went with the wide tire kit and jumped up to a 180mm tire and then went with a 18x5.5 rim. The HD wide tire kit is $250 but the parts you actually need are like $20.

I put Renegade wheels on my '07 Wide Glide. I have an 18" on the rear with no issues and it looks good with my 1" shorter shocks also. Check out my pictures.

I saw your pics. Those wheels look really good. I think I'll check into those.

Is the rear wheels a 18 x 5.5? Your wheels look great.

Yes, the rear is a 18 x 5.5 I'm pretty sure. That also means you have to buy new tires since the rear is a different size.

Romark, so what size tire are you running with an 18x5.5 rim? Can you take a pic from the rear and post it?

It's a 180 if that is what you mean. I'm at work right now so I can't take a picture. hehe It fills out the fender pretty nice.
