Default Front wheel help needed!!

Hi guys from the UK!,

Can anyone help me and advise on a couple of things, im looking to get the 'so cal' look for my heritage softail, 2007 vintage, and have no idea on where the best place/website would be to get the 21/22?? inch wheel?

Where could i find a white wall tyre to fit also?

And lastly, chrome spacers needed? How about the brake disc and caliper mount? what happens there, i have searched this forum high and low but no real explanation.

Any help is very much appreciated, some stunning bikes on this forum.



Thanks, mike.

I know a builder here in Japan who got a set of DNA Mammoths (Fat spoked, tubeless wheels) for around 1k USD from these guys, who are right on your own soil. Check 'em out. Can't really help you with the other stuff, but GOOD LUCK with the project and post pics when you're done!

I can help you and get you everything you need. No such thing as a 22" rim. 21 or 23 but a 23 will not fit under the stock fender. How many spokes do you want? CVhrome? Powder coat? Color? How wide of a rim? I can get you the white wall as well or you can get a diamond back. Email me at Drew@drvtwin.com with answers and I'll price them for you. Check out the wheel options here.

superb guys, this is great, something which will match the rear, i kinda like the standard chromed spoked wheel, just want a 21'' on the front with a whitewall tyre.. nothing too heavy on the spokes or too wide 3''?.

A 40 spoke Ride Wright 16x3.5 will match the front well. Hit me up for pricing.
