If you are looking for fat spokes, save some coin and go with DNA. Their issues have been worked out and aren't any different than production issues Ride Wright and Sinnisters have experienced and if I recall one of them has experienced a very recent issue but continued to push them out to customers with a known problem. I can say the DNA are the heat for the 1/2 the price of the others.

If you want billet there is now the Primo wheel option which is a spoke billet! Of course they're going to cost you. Look for the post here by pooch.

Bought my contrast cut wheels from Coastal, perfect experience. Jeff helped me. Shopped hard, gave others a chance, but coastal had the best price for the whole package. I've heard good things bout hogpro too.
I'd buy from coastal again. Jeff helped me find the right pm caliper for my springer forks too

Hogpro Has my vote! They have great after the sale support too.. I had fitment issues with my renegades cause renegade installed the wrong hub. Thanks to hog pro shipping multiple parts including a hub across the country free of charge we got it right. You can't go wrong with them!

Default Rims

Theres alot of good rims out their. It all depends on what your looking for, and how much money you want to spend. Im my opinion. Wicked Image has good looking rims, thats whats on the Bike now, although they dont make this style anymore. I watch out buying generic Rims for like JC Whitney or someone. I also probably wouldn't buy second hand rims, you just dont know what kind of balance or shape their in. If you google Motorcycle rims theres alot out thier. I'm switching my rims currently on my bike to these see pic. I friend of mine designed them for his chopper, and I said I had to have them. These are custom designed and custom made their a one off meaning only one like it in the world soon to be only two but custom made from scratch is very very expensive. Although mine will be the same they will be Black Chromed instead of the bronze, and the inserts with be painted to match the Bike..By RC, Wicked Image, any of those are good.

I followed the link on here and went direct to RolandSands.com They were super helpfull and new exactly what spacers, etc. to send out with the rims. No guess work and cool staff. 2 +'s in my book...

BTW, They will even help you choose which pulleys, rotors, brake calipers, and air cleaner that will match your new rims.

Support those who support this site.
Besides, you won't find a better selection or better prices than Hogpro.

Extreme Machine wheels from Hogpro.

Be careful wherever you go for wheels. Seeing that you have an 07 fatboy...those wheels are different than all other years. The front and rear wheels are offset. Do not let them tell you that all wheels 07 and later are the same. you can use an 08 front wheel if you change the lowers to an 08 or later. You cannot use any wheel except an 07 on the rear as the pulley will not line up with the drive belt.

A friend of mine (certified Harley tech) told me that an 08 or later wheel can be modified to work on an 07 fatty
With some extensive modifications and new spacers...but I didn't go into detail with him.

Hog Pro carries our wheels and they are excellent to do business with. They carry all the major brands that are worth putting on your bike. "Buy American and Support American Manufacturing". We don't care who you buy from as long as it's 100% American Made.

HD makes some good looking wheels that won't break the bank. That's the route I took.
