Default Wheel upgrade '84 Electra glide
As the title suggests, I'm looking to upgrade wheels and tires on my 84 electra glide. Having trouble finding companies for wheels, without being one offs or expensive items that are worth more than the bike I have is. Looking to put an 18" on the front with the 16 in the rear or 21 and 18 respectively. Any advice or direction would be greatly appreciated

Look on e-bay?
Are you gonna stay with 3/4" axles and tapered bearings or go with the newer wheels and their god awful sealed bearings?

Don't want to change too much. If I could find something to "bolt right on" would be ideal

I don't think you're gonna find a bolt on 18" wheel.

I've got a set of Thunder star wheels that I had powder coated if you're interested.
16" rear and 21" front.
