21in spoke wheel.
I just purchased a 2017 heritage softail. Ive been looking around for a 21in 40 spoke wheel that i can get close to match the rear. I haven't had much luck on finding one. I see that DNA has a 40 spoke 21x2.15 but i wasn't sure about the width. I seen a lot of 60 spoke 21x3.50. any ideas?

A 60 spoke 21x3.5 wheel won't look out of place with a stock 40 spoke 16" rear wheel. The larger diameter wheel benefits from the extra spokes from an aesthetic view. I ran a 21x3.5 60 spoke wheel up front with the stock 40 spoke rear for a bit and nobody ever noticed they didn't match. I eventually did get a matching 60 spoke rear because I am **** and it bothered me. I would look at Ride Wright wheels as they are some of the best from a quality standpoint.

You'll definitely notice the difference between a 40 and a 60 spoke wheel, no question about it.
With the 2.15 wheel you'll be looking at using most likely an 80 or 90 width tire. The 3.5 you can look at 120 - 140 up front. That's all preference.
