What tires are you running on that combo

Those are pretty reasonable for wheels.

Those are nice. What kind are they? Did you have to do anything for mounting with the stock fender?

Have lots of pics in my profile. Oh yeah 21/17.
With that awesome red color, chrome is the only way to go

We just rode to the Myrtle Beach Rally and both Renegade and PM were there. They both had show pricing for wheels, rotors, tires, etc - everything needed to be on the road. If you want to catch a deal on wheels my advice would be to attend a bike event where they or other wheel suppliers might have a presence. My friend was shopping but was hesitant to make the switch 450 miles from home - even for what looked to be $800-900 in savings. I'm thinking of a new set but will wait until DelMarva Bike Week. I'm hoping that a supplier that is an hour away from me will be there and have show pricing although it will also mean state sales tax.

or call sinister wheels in turlock calif and have them make u a set that u designed. i wanted the roulett wheel but PM told me 8 to 10 weeks befor i get them. went to a local rally and sinister wheels were there talked to ali the owner really nice guy. he made the wheel i wanted that PM couldnt deliver in time. which was the roulett not exactly the same cuz i put my own little twist to it. same price as anyone else with tires and rotors bearings ready to mount and he can only make 1 set if he copies another manufactorers wheel. $3500.00 in 3 1/2 weeks. iam a happy camper and the quality is outstanding. just my 2 cents. oh by the way 21 front 18 rear and i like the way it handles with these wheel sizes.

I went with the Agitators. I got "lucky" and had flaking chrome on my stock wheels, so I got them replaced under warranty. All it cost me were the new tires and rotors. Be aware that with a shorter sidewall, you will have a harsher ride.
