Default Rotors To Match SG Wheels?

I'm looking at doing a chrome exchange for my wife's SG wheels and am looking for something other than polished stock rotors to pair with them. Prefer floating rotors that match up well with the wheels. Any suggestions?

I took a quick look through my 2013 Harley catalog at available rotors, but there is nothing that really "matches" the five spoke pattern of the current street glide wheel that I could see. There are several floating types that would look fine on the solid chrome street glide wheel, but that gets into personal preference.

Edit: Also think it would be hard to beat the quality and looks of a Lyndall rotor if you can deal with the price point. They do have a lifetime warranty against any defect.

Its a Klock werks wrapper fender.
I love it but switch it out with stock when I put the tour pack and lowers on. Just didn't look right to me.

The EBC rotors are much better looking than stock to me and combined with the Lyndall brake pads suit all my stopping needs.
