Default Springer wheels - can't find them anywhere

So, I'm looking to ditch the 16's on my 2005 Springer Classic and either go 18" front and back or 18" rear and 19" front. Looking for either 40 or 60 spoke (no fat spokes), but can't find them anywhere. I'm assuming the rear would be no different then a Heritage or Standard, but no luck with the front. All ebay ads say FXSTS only or No FLSTS. Any suggestions?

Also, would like to go with a set of Knuckle bars... Wild 1 has them, but in the pics they really don't look like they have the same pullback and arch that the original Knucks had. Any suggestions?

Probably listed as not fitting FLSTS because they won't fit under the fender.

The offset is different on a springer than a standard hydraulic front end....no big deal Ive swapped wheels many times on springers. Call Ride wright wheels and get them to quote what you are looking for. I have stuffed a 21" under the heritage front end so I know it can be done.

I've used a regular old FLST wheel on my 03.... A hallcraft, a ride right,
And an Ultima for my 97.

All have bolted right up.

Thanks for the info. Wonder why they wouldn't list it though. I know up to a 21 fits, but thought the hub would be different.
