OP, there are some nice looking cast wheels on the aftermarket. You can go with a little larger wheel with the same tire thickness and not affect ride quality. If you go with aftermarket just tell them your bike year and style and they should press in the correct bearings. If you go a different route, just be aware that you might have to change out the bearings to 3/4 for the springer front end. I like the smaller wheels on the bigger springer front fenders. On the small fenders like yours I think they look best with a larger wheel up to a 21".
Good luck.

wheels
I put a 011 fatboy wheel on the back of my 08 Crossbones and was a direct swap. Was going for the front to but BossBearing sent the wrong bearings so don't know yet if it will be a direct also. the height seems real close on the front and just a bit wider but there is room under the fender for wider. I like the looks of the spoke wheels but what a pain in the butt if you get a flat and I ride a lot of gravel roads. Tried to do a picture but failed
