Default 21x3 or 21x3.5 front wheel?

I am about to pull the trigger on a new front wheel for my night train, but I am questioning the width I want. I am having trouble picturing on the bike the difference between the 3" and 3.5" width
Currently I have a 21 x 2.15 on my bike and I am wanting something a little wider than what I have now.

Can anyone provide me some pictures of a 21 x 3 mounted on a 120/70r21 vs. and 21 x 3.5 mounted on a 120/70r21. Pictures on the bike from the front and from the side would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!

21x3, I unexpectedly traded the bike in a weekend or so ago so these are the best pics your gonna get. I didnt even get a chance to finish painting my fender.

As far as looks go, I don't think you will notice much difference.

Agreed. That .5 isn't much.

Thanks for the pics. Where did you get the wheel and fender. What made you get the fork brace?
