I currently own a 14 Street Glide Special and am considering upgrading my wheels to something more stylish. I've come across a brand called performance machine and frankly after searching online for wheels, these have me interested. However, they also appear to be extremely expensive. My questions are these:
1. Is the quality really worth the investment? I understand quality to someone is subjective, however, if someone currently owns a pair I'd love to hear your feedback and buying experience.
2. Is it worth it to do both front and back wheels? I currently have Harley Extended bags so it would be difficult to see the rear at all.
I've bought two sets of these, one for my 2010 Street glide and one set for my 2013 Road King. Cut from one block of aluminum. High end, high quality stuff. Both wheels with new tires mounted and balance and rotors about $3000 a bike
Performance Machine has been forever and still is the top the heap in quality. How much the best is worth to you, I can't answer. And yes; if ya don't do the rear, ya will wish ya had.

PM is a good wheel but why over spend if you dont have to
Hogpro is a great vendor and is also a forum member
Contact them for your wheel needs. He can get most any wheel including PM

Cut from a block of aluminum? That would be a big block of aluminum.

I HAVE both wheels, brakes and few other PM goodies. They make top quality products.
Can't go wrong with PM Wheels. I have their latest style wheels on my 14 Limited and very happy with them. I went through Eastern Performance but you can also go through Hogpro who is one of the vendors on here for a good deal as well. They are worth it.
Will take a look at the HOGPRO website and look at availability. The "Virtue" and "Recon" wheels in Chrome are the specific looks that catch my eye the most.
Bought mine from Drew at Hogpro , he gave me a good deal , yes do both wheels , I have extended bags too , but you can see enough of the rear that it looks cheap if you don't do it
