Thread On Non Stock Wheels?

I did a search & was wondering if there is a thread already with aftermarket wheels on softail bikes. I couldn't find anything. If there is one can someone direct me to it please!

Thanks!

I don't know about a thread, but for aftermarket wheels, first look for DOT certified. Read the fine print about the wheels. A lot of them talk about depending on the strength of the tire sidewall for stability. Not something I want to depend on. Ok for a show bike thats riden only occasionally and not at speed, I guess.

I don't recall a specific thread on aftermarket wheels, but most manufacturers and distributors have photo galleries within their web page and allow the user to view different wheel designs on a bike.
I found this very helpful in my selection.

These are R/C Components - Calyspo's. Great product, warranty and outstanding customer support.

Just remember..
Cast = cheap and weak.
Forged = expensive and strong.

If the wheel is cut out of forged aluminum, any wheel maker will deliver you a great product.

Hey you beat me to it! Was just going to suggest that he check out the pics in your galleries.

PearlWhite: I don't throw out recommendations like frisbees so please believe me when I say that Hogpro will treat you right with excellent Customer Service, pricing and product.

I'm a very satisfied customer as are 6 guys I ride with that purchased their wheels from them as well.
