Default Abs rims

I have a 09 Streetglide with abs. I want to put on fat spoke rims. No one makes wheels for abs. Some one said the bearing is the difference no the rims. Is this true? If so can you press in an abs bearing into to aftermarket wheels?

They told you right..
No ABS wheels, just ABS bearings.
Yes the bearings are changeable.
Not a big deal..

ABS bearing and the spacers used with them.
If you change the bearing, you must change the spacers too.
