Default Wheel/Rim Choice decision
Hey, anyone that has gone through what I'm thinking about...jump in here and give your opinion. I have a 07 Ultra Classic that has the chrome spoke wheels. This is a link to the wheel I thought about adding to my bike to save money from changing the rear wheel. It's a Fat Spoke wheel. What I'm wondering is what size front wheel to go with. Ive been told I could buy the 06 Model Ultra wheels that have been chromed fairly cheap. I have so many thing's I want to do and wheels are one of the very first thing's I want to do. If you have a set of the factory 06 stock wheels that have been chromed...please share a pic. If you just changed the front wheel to a Fat Spoke...Please share a pic. Thanks for anyone's input.

Reminds me of a poster my Brother had many years ago that had two buzzards sitting on a limb. One of them says to the other "Patience, my ***! I'm going out and killing something!"
All right, coffee's finished, let's go ride...
