Default Wheels wheels wheels?

Hey guys I'm new to the forum but have found out so much valuable information here. I need some help deciphering some wheel options for my 2008 FLHX. Looking into Sinister, Ride Wright, and mammoth! Does anyone have input?

Please and thank you!

Tony

Here is my '13 SG with a 21" DNA Mammoth and the 130-21" HD tire from the breakout. I also used matching DNA rotors. I love it and it rides great. A number of people had problems with the earlier DNA wheels but from what I hear / read the newer ones are fine. I have absolutely no problems and I like the look as well. There are plenty of threads on this so use the search function and you will find a ton of info. I would also check out Hogpro. They are a vendor on the site and they have a great website with a ton of pics and great prices. Good luck!
