Default Brake rotor ideas

Looking to upgrade to polished rotors on my 07 FXD, I have the cast wheels and was looking at jp cycles biker choice mesh rotors pn# 223-324, it says they will work on my front wheel, but it also has the same part# for a FXDC with spoke wheels. I dont think think those will work. Looking for ideas and feedback to what everyone else has used and what would look good.
thanks in advance

Mind explaining why it will not work on a cast wheel?

As far as I know, cast wheel-spoked wheel doesn't matter. They are going to use the same hub... I guess I could be wrong.

I have never heard of a difference either, hence my question.

Click on blackmopar's link above, the disc on the spoke wheels mounts on the hub, and the disc on the cast wheels mounts more outboard.

Guess it depends on the brand of cast wheel, my cast wheel hubs are identical mounting wise to spokers, I used my spoker discs on my cast wheels until I bought custom discs.

sorry guys didnt see there were replies and questions here - yes - my answers were assuming the stock 'switchblade' cast wheel as WS6 Formula posted - its a different mount than a spoke/standard hub diameter.
