Let me know how wide the white wall is on your 21 inch tire. I'm curious. Thanks.

Thanks for the pics. Looks good, but as others said the WW isnt as wide as I had hoped.

$470 for a custom Metz on that HDwheels site might be the way to go for me. I hate to pay that much, but I'm willing for the right look + piece of mind.

I'm going to check out hd wheels site. I'm saving up now for another tire so by the time I need it I have the whole amount ready to buy one. That gets me time to shop around anyways. Ride Safe.
