Are you going to go with a 21" front
Yeah, see, this is why I can't decide. The first are a bit too plain, the second have those dimples going around that I don't care for.

As for 21", I'm sticking with the stock front.

Yeah, those are cool. A little bit more "zing" to them than the first HogPro wheels.

You should check out RC Componets Wheels.They are top quality wheels,The chrome ones come with a 7 yr chrome warranty which is unheard of on chrome wheels.They have a eclipse series which I think you would really like.From what you describe I think you would like the Prowler,Imperial or the Epic.They are pricey though.Sorry don't know how to attach a link.

+1 - Yup, RC Components & Performance Machine are the best (and their price reflects their quality). If you can afford either, I'd select from them.

I like the second choice. Black wheels need some contrast to look good. Stay away from Renegade Wheels. Just had a terrible experience on fitment from them.

2nd ones for me. I think the first look too plain. Looks like someone rattle canned some rims.

JMHO, means nothing. I like the contrast cut look to break it up a little.

Good luck and enjoy!
