21" Wheel Set for my 2005 Fatboy

I'm getting real close to pulling the trigger on these wheels for my 05 Fatboy. I don't really care for spoke wheels on my fatboy as to me it would start to look like a heritage, but this wheel set seems to be more "Solid" looking like the stock wheels, but with a 21" front and and an 18" rear. Please let me know what you guys think how these will look on my black fatboy as I actually have a pair on hold and have to purchase my noon tomorrow. Thanks.

Forgot to add, if you wanna get rid of your other wheels let see if we can make a deal. I think your chrome is a little ncier than mine. Are those from Hogpro? I like the mystic from Hogpro the best. THey are on this page.

Either way, new wheels are always good.

One more post from me here. I also really like the black and chrome combos that Hogpro has. I think they would complement your bike very nicely. Either way, you can't lose. The wheels you picked are very nice. The black and chrome combos are PRICEY though.

Hi Andrew, just getting to work. I'm jonesing for a major mod and thought since I've been off my bike for a month, (and will be for another), I thought I would treat myself for all the hard schooling I've been doing!!!! Thank you for your input, it is greatly appreciated. I like the HogPro stuff too and there service it tops, but I see HogPro
stuff everywhere, especially here in the valley. These wheels are DNA, and are from back east. Havn't seen anything like them here on the west side. Guess I'm trying to be original to a certain point. I also like the fact that the spokes are squared inside, instead of rounded. I havn't seen anything like them at HogPro. I'm not sure about the front fender yet, definately don't want the Heritage look, so I'm going to pull the trigger on the wheels and rotors first and figure out the fender issue afterwards. Thanks again for the input.

They would look pretty good on your fatboy. Especially that 21" up front. Plus with the spokes being squared off they'd be a lot easier to clean.

Dam Andrew, I wish you did not bait me those Mystics cause I went to check them out over at the site. I added it all up and it's pricy, and on top of that I got to buy tires, get them balanced and mounted which will be another 4-500 bucks. So out of curiosity, I went and clicked on their November Specials to see if anything was worth looking at there and lo and behold, for the month of November if you buy a full set of wheels and rotors, the tires are FREE!!!!!! Including mounting and balancing. What would recomment for the rear tire size to go along with the 21x3.5 front? Thanks Bro.
