I have Coastal Moto Wheels on my fatboy and they are awesome, quality chrome, and style. I put Performance Machine wheels on my wife's Sportster.

It's all about what look you like. PM is high quality as are most of the other brands. How much you are willing to spend also will dictate the brand you get obviously.

I went with the Coastal Moto Mavericks on my 06 Deluxe. 21 x 3.50 front and a 18 x 3.50 rear. No modifications needed.

Tom here. Hogpro gets rave reviews here on the forums. They carry all brands, plus their own. Talk to Phil over there, he'll do you right. Of course it won't be cheap. A little out of my mod range right now.
