i recently bought a set of pro-one wheels for my 09 street glide directly from pro-one off of ebay. i got the 21 up front with the matching rotors and the 18 rear wheel for $2000 shipped to my door with avon tires mounted and balanced. although $2000 is still alot of money i felt like i got a great deal being that like you said i couldn't find anything less than $2800, so i had to do it!!
I guess it's all in what you want. I went with a 21/18 set up and can see the front wheel just fine. If you are going to spend that kind of money you can get the 21" for the same price and see alot more of the front wheel and if you go with a 18" rear you can see some of it. My conscience wouldn't let me buy just the front and not the rear. Kinda like kissing your sister, you don't get much out of it. I'd rather spend my $$$ on bling than motor work cause the stock motor runs just fine and will get you a ticket if you're not careful......ask me how I know !!!
I have talked to one of the chrome exchange companies and they will take both of my wheels and the front end and return to me the rear wheel and front end chromed for $330 and I will buy a 21" custom wheel and rotors for around $1500. This whell save some and like others say you can not see much of the rear anyway.
