Default I can use some help finding a part

Hey Guys - My 05 Heritage Springer, I need to find a set of HD OEM rims. Theyre 16x3 F&R. Ive looked hi and low and just cant find a set on good to great condition. Any thoughts? Also, does anyone know if a current Heritage wheel assembly would fit?

TYVM in advance

You try putting an ad in the classified section here for "rims wanted"? Might get a few more looks.

Also try Tomsnosparts.com

There was a guy who used to advertise on Craigslist. He was in St louis. He had all kinds of NOS parts for just about any Harley. You might try your luck googling for it. He posted up some pics with his ad and it looked like he had a whole warehouse full of engines, tanks, and other stuff. This guy was running a business. Not just somebody selling private.

Why do you need OEM? These look like essentially exact replacements: https://www.denniskirk.com/drag-spec...prd/559328.sku

If you have to have OEM, you can set up a permanent search on eBay and if anything matches your search terms, you will get notified quickly.

Good luck!

The rims are going on a freshly restored bike - It seems all the rims Im seeing used are in a sub-condition level than I need. I saw the rims from DK. Price is good but the 2 folks I know who had them, the chrome pitted and peeled..

All you guys, thanks for the info.
