18" front and 17" rear "Deviate" wheels and matching two-piece rotors from Hogpro. Hogpro was very helpful in answering questions, and giving me their input on the pros and cons of the different size possibilities. Ultimately, I didn't want to sacrifice ride or handling; and I didn't want to modify the shocks in order to regain the original geometry of the bike. I prefer the looks of the 21" front wheels with the single rotor setup; but I just wasn't willing to risk changing the amazingly good ride and handling performance of my SG. I'm very pleased with the looks of my new wheels--clearly an improvement over the stock wire wheels I had on the bike.

Thats a good idea about the rear tire. I really don't want to pay a lot for a rear wheel that cant really be seen anyway. I was thing about the stock chrome and black rear wheel on mine
