Default Custom front wheel

Anyone ever change just the front rim to a custom job? Thinking about adding the SERG bag extenders and painting the rear rim black since it will be nearly non-visiable. Possibly I could get away with just buying a front wheel set-up?

Anyone seen something like this done? I don't mind doing my own thing, just do not want a new bike looking like a rat bike already

I've done it twice. You can barely see the rear wheel, so I had a hard time justifying the cash for a wheel that is basically hidden. I'm about to do it a third time on mu current Road Glide. Going to do a front black 18" HardCore wheel with a set of matching chrome rotors. I figure if it really bugs me, I can add the rear wheel in the future when the rear tire needs to be replaced anyhow.

I agree. There was a dude on here awhile back that got some pretty cool RockStar rims on Ebay for cheap that looked awesome. Better to have two less expensive rims for the price of one expensive one in my opinion...
