1 piece rotors are all about look. Since you avhe a softail and single disc front it is less important than if you had a bagger with dual disc front as the rotors are much more prevalent on a dual disc front wheel. On teh rear you rotor is on the right side so it is very visible when the bike is parked.
That being said stock rotors are extremely drab and most of our customers who get wheels without rotors end up buying the rotors after they realize how drab the stock rotors are. There is an exception to every rule.
Depending on what wheels you are getting the company may offer 1 piece rotors, 2 piece rotors, or both. Ask before you buy as 2 piece rotors cost quite a bit more usually and on a softail are not necessarily going to stop the bike any better. Looks are obviously subjective on what looks best with what wheel.
If you need help with wheel questions please feel free to call as wheels is what we do.

I made the mistake on my last bike of just getting the wheels. They were chrome and looked great, until you saw the stock rotors and just killed the look. So get the rotors too
