21" all the way!!!! leave the rear stock or keep the same size.18" rear lifts bike up too much in my opinon.Hogpro has some nice black and chrome/alum wheels if you have factory mags.

If your gonna leave the chitty looking stock wheel in the rear which is a 16 then you should go with the 18. If ya wanna go big with the 21 then ya should really go with a 18 in the back and drop the front 1, 1 1/2, or even 2 inches to get the geometry/handling back.

What looks chitty to me is the 6-8 inches you have between the pavement and your frame.I was explaining to steetglide88 to stay w/16 inch rear( stock wheel or custom) because it looks better.
Lowered 2" in front and 2" in rear,21"frt wheel and 16"rear wheel looks best to me.Handling is still good as i can outride most people if i choose.I dont consider baggers sport bikes.
