18" or 21", Help me decide...
Hat's off to all you Veteran's today.......
Hey, I'm having a hard time making a decision, I'm asking you guy's to help me out. I'd like to give Bart (Shooter64) a call and order up some billet wheel's to replace the spoke's on my Street Glide. If I was running the stock front fender I'd go with the 21" wheel, no brainer. But because I'm running a Fatboy front fender, and as you can see by the pix, it is painted to match. I think the Fatboy fender might just look to damn small up against that 21" wheel. Therefore I'm thinking it might be better sticking with a 18". What do you guy's think? Putt

I think you're right Putt. I would go with 18's on both ends with your current front fender. Your bike already looks killer, a set of wheels is really going to put it over the top.

Boy with those two choices you don't make it easy on yourself do you? Both are great looking wheels, but those South Beach's are really sweet. Here's my F'd up logic on your decision. With your flame job, I think your bike has that in-motion look to it while sitting still. I think the Renegade wheels compliment that more than the PM's. Again, that's just the way I see it. Either set would look killer.

See if someone could photoshop you an 18" wheel vs. a 21" wheel on your bike with that fender. That's what I'd do before completely ruling the option out. Question then would be, will the 21" fit without hard modding the fatboy fender, in which, wouldn't help you at all.

Thx BZ and UK, your opinion's me alot. And BZ, we think alike, thx. I was thinking the same thing as fas as the flow of the wheels. I'm going to go with South Beach 18" x 4.25" on both end's. I've alway's have gone with PM in the past, are the Renegade's up to par with PM as far as quality? I'm sure Bart will be a help here also, thx again, Rich

Renegade wheels are top notch quality. Have you thought about a 19" front? Might be a happy medium.

That is a sharp bike any way you turn it no doubt about it, I'd go with the 18" and keep the front fender with that paint job. But it would look super with the 21" and the stock fender, just make sure you get the paint job to go with it. Me I don't think I'd take that chance, just order the billet's.
