Default Basic Wheel upgrade help

Hey all- I have an '06 super glide without a lot of structural upgrades. I'd like to get some new wheels when I get new tires later this year. Any advice or recommendations? Going from the stock 19x2.5 in front to 21x2.15 and 18x?? in rear but not informed enough to know if that's ideal. Do these changes affect handling/stability? What are any major differences when making the transition? I mostly cruise country roads but also do some city riding. Also, I'm trying to find some wire wheels and have looked at America Wire and HD wheels....any comments pro or con? I really appreciate any advice. Thanks.
