Good looking wheels. I was there Saturday and almost pulled the trigger on the PM Calypso's 12/18. I didn't do it because I thought, "how would I get the stockers home?" Oh well, now I'm looking for an online dealer that has good pricing on wheels and tires.
They mail your old rims back to you. They told me it's $50.00 but they threw that in the deal.

Looks great! I plan on changing this Winter. I am thinking 21/17 instead of 18 to keep the height down. What tires did you get? I have been looking at PMs, st chrome $2200 from my favorite HD dealer without tires and mounting.

Tires are Metzeler 880's which is what I was running on the stock rims. I lowered the front with the SE springs kit which advertises a 1 inch drop but after install it measured 3/4 of an inch drop. Between the new springs and SE Oil, the bike handles a lot better in turns and slow speeds, makes a huge difference on balance and takes a lot of the top heavy off the bike. I had that work done when I did the chrome lowers last year.
