I had the front 17 incher chromed and powder coated the rear wheel black... they are standard RoadKing wheels, I had the dealer swap them out for the spoked wheels that came on the classic before I bought it........

Thanks

Those were Wild One's 10 inch Chubby Apes.... didn't like the width and they didn't have enough pullback.... the bike handles much crisper with the drag bars.......

Thanks!
