Apparently the 17" option was discontinued after 2013 models. They are shown in the parts fiche from 2009 to 2013.

If you want to keep your tires, you'll have to look for 2009-2013 Profile Laced Wheels. They're the ones with smooth aluminum rims, not the stamped steel ones. 16x5" rear, 17x3" front.

Seems like a deal, but will it fit my 2017 RK?

I absolutely think they will fit just fine. And the front has rotors too. Seems like a deal. You will obviously have to move your rear rotor and pulley to the new rear wheel.

These are the specs from a 2010 RKC

Front Tire
130/90B-16 Rear Tire180/65B-16

Only difference is your front now is a 17" and this would change the front to a 16", I don't see any reason it wouldn't be just fine. Someone will be along soon to add to this. These will require tubes also. But will give you that Classic Look

If you're thinking of those 16" on ebay for approx $900, beware those tires may be getting "older" relatively, if they haven't been replaced. You need the Date Code and you may need to to replace them soon, regardless of mileage.

I may have a set of 09-later 16" wheels, I don't recall if they're Aluminum "Profile" or Std Steel "Drop center", but I can check on those

Two sets of profile wheels and tires.

Make sure you get the touring wheels with rubber cush drive rear, not softail ones with a solid mount pulley.
