Question Need help finding the right wheels

Hello all,
Well, I've ordered my bike! A 2011 Fat Boy Lo with the anti-lock brake/security package (which unfortunately limits my choice of wheels). Thanks to everyone here who helped me learn about HD bikes and find the right parts to customize it!

I don't care for the solid wheels on the stock bike and I am trying to find something simple and clean looking. My favorite wheels so far are these:

Unfortunately, they don't make make them for my bike. I've been searching all over and not finding anything similar that I know will work on my bike, so I am hoping some of the fine people here might be able to suggest something close.

Thanks!

I'm a big fan of Roland Sands Design contrast cut line.

Check them out they are a little pricey but they will give the bike its own personality.

Thanks for the link. I absolutely like the contrast cut look! But I am looking for something with a cleaner, less busy look, like a 5,6 or 7 spoke design.
Thanks!

Hi all, thanks for the links, it has helped me narrow what I am looking for. Hogpro has a good selection. Right now I am trying to decide between one of these two (in black or contrast):


or


You can see I am going for a straight, clean, open look. Any comments are appreciated!

"straight, clean, open look"
Would be my first choice, IMO.

Second choice, to busy, for a clean look.

I think you're right, I am leaning towards the first choice, too. I wish I had enough imagination to picture them on the bike I'm getting.

The 2nd ones will look way better, the first one looks to cheesey.

Are you going to go with a 21" front
