Exclamation Need a nice front rim

3 weeks ago my 01 Road King was trashed and looking to make it rebuilt into what I think I want. Have had a Klock Werks Wrapper front fender for a while before the crash so problem is finding a nice rim for it. Fender will take up to a 19" X 3" wheel/tire, maybe 3 1/2". Would take an 18" as well but just want to fill that void. Just having a hard time finding a decent or any rim for that matter in the size I want. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There are many custom options out there from vendors like hogpro...

I upgraded my 01 EG classic to a 2010+ SG wheel. 18 inches and a nice look on my black bike. If you have a classic then you need spokes... If not the flhx wheel is decent for the money. I did the brakes too and th brembos are a world of difference from the stock calipers/rotors...only wish I did it sooner.

Thanks but really hoping someone can point me in the direction of a specific wheel/website that will not break the bank. Only looking to do the front in 19" X 3". Want something primarily black.

OEM take off wheel should be cheap - maybe swap bearings on a 14 SG wheel. 19x3.5
