There are probably a few thousand aftermarket manufacturers that offer custom automotive wheels. First question is do you want to stay with a 15" wheel or go larger? For example, I had Intro Wheels build me a pair of billet 17x7's with the offset I specified and then I fitted a pair of 205/50/17 Michelin Pilots.

Thanks you for the info. Thinking of staying with a 15" wheel because I am not looking for a low profile tire. Looking for a more meaty tire and think if that was on a larger wheel it would lift the *** end of the trike too much.

Nothing wrong with a 15" wheel, just more selection of 17" and 18" wheels. As for larger tire diameter, your oem 205/65/15 rear tires are actually taller than mine, 25.4" to 25.1".
Forget going with a wider tire as the factory H-D fenders just don't have the room.

I'm definitely going to modify the fender around the new tire. Contacted Intro Wheels and, depending on the wheel, they run anywhere from $425 to a bit over $500. That's way better than PM at about $1700 plus per wheel.
