Is there another HD dealer near you? I'm sure they would accomodate you - - It's your money - - your not the one acting crazy here..they swapped out the wheels, and now they lose a customer because of something so lame- - sounds like they are not looking out for the customer afterall --who needs them? Stick to your guns on that one....IMO - - Laced wheels are nice looking and all, especially when they are all shined up..but dang, on a dresser, does it matter? I hate spending time cleaning my cast wheels anyway, I'd rather just wipe them down and ride, than detail every spoke! Just IMO....

when after everything is done and its sitting in the driveway/garage it takes some of the enjoyment out of it when you think in the back of your mind you didn't get the best deal.


i wouldn't worry about getting the best deal, because there's always someone out there that got a "better" deal. or so they will say
i shoot for a price i think is fair, and then i buy.

I would go with the cast wheels. No rim strip, can use a tubeless tire, the rim is generally stonger and easier to clean. I think that is the best way to go on a touring bike.
