Default Looking at custom wheels

I'm pretty new to the site... been trying to read through as much as I can every night. There is a ton of awesome stuff here!

Anyway, I've been trying to decide on some custom wheels for my 10 Wideglide. I want to stay with the 21 & 17, but I may go to the wide 21 up front to run a 120/21 Metzler. I'm thinking black contrast cut or just plain black. I keep leaning towards something with more of a timeless design like a simple 5 spoke. I just cant make up my mind without seeing some on a bike. Anyone want to show me a pic of their bike with some good looking wheels on it??? Thanks, and hope to get to know you guys.

currently in the process of doing this now, and its a bit painful in hind sight there would be easyier ways to do it,

I got these http://www.ebay.com/itm/140772254114...S:1123&vxp=mtr

Milled equal ammounts off both the spacers and have it set up so the brake disc is dead center in stock brakes only thing is my wheel is now off from the center of the axles by about 4mm I am going to mill off the brake housing so I can move it all over to the right (looking at it from the front) then adjust my spacers to match gaps.

A bit of stuffing around but even riding it with it off center by the 4mm its 100% better than a stock rim. See my post in this section if you want more info on the alignment issue.

Those rims are going to look freaking awesome! Post pics when you get them on.

Check out southern mc wheels. They have great pricing on wheel and rotor packages.

Nice wheels really make a big difference on a bike. Coastal Moto made me a nice deal on some chrome Diesels with Metzlers. Made my FLSTC really stand out, especially with chrome forks. Sorry, no photos, sold the bike. Check with Coastal before you buy. I was very happy with them. Good luck.

I changed mine out just to get rid of the tubes and go tubeless. That and I hate cleaning spokes. That said, I went with a DNA fat spoke up front, but since it's a radial spoke with none crossing, it's fairly easy to clean. Chrome Deuce wheel out back.

I put a set of Renegage wheels on my Wide Glide. 21" up front and 18" rear.

I just changed my front about 2 weeks ago for the HD Reaper but I'm sure you would not be able to run bigger then 90/90 front on that. I really like the look of it on the bike check it out.

Might be selling this front for anyone wanting to go with a solid rear it would look good. It's a wideglide wheel. I'm going back to mid glide.
