I hate spokes but don't like solids either and would get rid of mine if I could afford it. I would go with the one with the fewest spokes you can get like the Anarchy or Chisel or Airstrikes. IMHO

So you put Anarchy on the front and Airstrikes on the back? Hadn't thought about doing that! I guess you went with the Airstrike on the back because you didn't want to change the back tire from a 16 to an 18. For me, that would save me buying a new rear tire since the 16 I have now is nearly new. Both the Anarchy and the Airstrike have 5 spokes, but of course the spokes are different. So do you regret mixing the wheels? Since they are both chrome, does anyone really notice the difference. I don't want to go cheap and have it look funny, but if it doesn't look funny why not go cheaper?

I went with the Airstrike on the back because I wanted to keep the stock ride height and stance with the 16. You can not tell unless the bags are off the bike, all I can see is that the rear wheel is chrome. If the brake issue doesn't get sorted out I'm going to switch to a Airstrike 18 on the front, or a custom wheel.

Did you notice any difference in the ride or handling after you changed to the larger wheels? Any other information you can give me?

My bike already had the 130 X 18 front tire so just changed the wheel out. My bike does have a 180 X 16 rear presently so the matching rear to the Anarchy is a change but since that wheel is 180 X 55 X 18 vs. the stock size the main difference is a shorter side wall in the 18 inch combo. Circumference should be close enough to where there won't be much difference other than maybe a slightly stiffer ride due to the shorter sidewall?
