Nice looking wheels, but IMO on an old school looking hardtail laced wheels look the best.

I've got the 21" wire wheel that came on it, but with the lowered ride height in the rear I was thinking that wheel would not look right. What should I look for in a set; 16 rear and 19 front and will other bike's wires fit a Sporty?
Thanks,
RC

Can anybody tell me if this wheel will fit my Sporty?

That wheel would work well for you because being a 99 you'll have the smaller i.d. brake rotors. You'll need to be careful with your spacers but it will work.
And for what it's worth, I love a hardtail with mag wheels like you posted earlier if the rest of the bike follows the feel. Very hot-rod.

21" laced wheel cleaned
I never thought 40 spokes were a lot until I had to clean them after years of neglect. It turned out so nice I think I use it
