Default new wheel help....

Ok guys im torn, looking at some new spokes for both strength and looks. im looking at sinister big daddy's, ridewright 50's or if money allows i really want the billet Primo Cali's. can i get some opinions on all the wheels and some sizing suggestions??? im thinking stock widths with 16 rear 21 front but i am open to ideas. i also want big whitewalls so the front sizing may be dictated by that. Thanks!!!

Avon now makes a WWW Cobra sized 120/70/21....They have not made it to my distributors yet but I already have one on order for my new 60 spoke 21" wheel for my Deluxe. That means you can get a 21x3.5" front wheel for your bike. They make WWW's in all the 16" widths so you can run a matched set of tires....

As for wheel choice, it is your bike, pick the ones you like best!

You should consider SMT Machining Big Fatty

Those are great wheels. Short list of best I've seen but probably can't afford at least for now

How about 18" WWW's for the rear........what sizes is anyone seeing? I wanna see more Wheel and try to match the sidewall heights of the front and back the best I can. Hoping for a 150/60-18 or 130/70-18.
The SMT wheels are pretty nice looking. Gonna Stick with some 52 spoke myself, but definitely nice on the SMT's
