Question 2006 FLSTNi Deluxe wheel recommendations

I've seen a couple of different suggestions for wheel upgrades, one was hog pro the other ? Looking for black wheel, chrome fat spoke, would like to keep the rear size the same ( just put a new tire on it) suggestions for front size? Time for a new look and the Samson's I want are back ordered so may as we'll buy wheels instead. Thanks

I have the same bike or had a bike like it. If you ever new my threads on wheels and tires. I am one of a few who likes the 16"' left alone on bikes like ours. Someday, some other bike? I could entertain the idea then and there.

I see alot of people going with 18 rear and 21 front. Not sure if the 21 tucks in the fender without mods though. I'd be curious to know.

I noticed almost zero difference going to a 21 on my deluxe, no mods needed.
