Default Aftermarket wheels

Hey guys, and gals.&nbsp\\; When putting aftermarket wheels on, do most usually change out the front and rear or can you usually get away with just doing the front.&nbsp\\; Ive got a custom on order and am looking at wheels.&nbsp\\; Im thinking bout just doing the front, but dont want it to look odd.&nbsp\\; Suggestions?

Everyone has opinions,&nbsp\\; but it is your bike so go with what YOU think looks good.

depends on whats existing on the bike. if you have spoked front and cast rear, you could find something that closely matches it. if you're going for a particular look, you might want to consider changing both. it won't effect the ride either way.

Initally I only bought the Front (HogPro Black Primitive) for my 2008 Nightrain\\; I hated the spokes. After looking at the bike for a few days I realized that it looked awkward, thus I bought the back also.
