Default Wheels


Sorry if this question seems elementary, but I am new to the motorcycle world. I'm looking to replace the stock wheels on my 2008 Dyna Lowrider. My question is, has anyone dealt with the following wheel manufacturers/dealers:

Performance Machine - http://www.performancemachine.com/

Hogpro - http://www.hogpro.com

Are there any other wheel manufacturers that you recommend?

Any pluses/minuses with purchasing wheels from the Harley Catalog?

Thanks!

RC components and Foose wheels are other manufacturers that I can think of. Both stand up companies... Hogpro is good and I am saving up for a set of Gassers from Performance Machine.
HD wheels are expensive... do your home work on installation because it will be expensive to have the dealer do it and if you get a set of wheels with the tires already mounted and balanced that require no modification then doing it yourself is not overly complex just takes a little time and homework....

I'm glad to hear the good comments about PM because I ordered a set of their "Torque" wheels and belt pulley and are having them installed this month.

Want a good price on wheels call these folks.

When my old lady changes jobs I'm gettin some forged Rc Componets wheels from them. Some of the other wheel mft won't let me run a tire as big as Rc Componets does. They also carry other brands of wheels. Check out their prices. call and talk to Westley . He gave me 300.00 off on each wheel I wanted. If you are near him he will mount and balance them for you.
