Ride Wright makes excellent quality wheels. I have a set on my bike and have had zero issues. Price just depends on what all you want to do. Wheel size, powder, spokes, and rotors vary in price. Id recommend buying them through your Harley dealer if they give you points. That's what I did and received $500 in points from buying my wheels.

I think mine are 8 years old now . They look like they did when I bought them. Always have stayed balance no rust on the nipples. I clean and wax them once a year.

I upgraded to the exotica wheels 23" and 18". I got everything powdered, went tubeless with composite rotors which was a very pricey upgrade which was definitely not needed! I want to say I paid like 4,500 for everything. If you don't do all the unnecessary upgrades like I did I'm sure it would be a big price difference. I know you can go on ride wrights website and build your wheels to your liking and it will give you a total cost. You will pay more for ride wright compared to other companies because their products are made in the USA and not China like the other companies. Cant go wrong with good quality USA products! Hope this helps you guys out!
