I am putting on the Enforcer 15 inch on the rear and the Anarchy 18 inch on the front. Means you only need one new tire and the mix of Enforcer on the rear and Anarchy in the front will look good IMO. Also allows me to go with a smaller looking rotor on the front and not hide the wheel too much.

I usually did the bigger front wheel thing on my touring bikes but on the trike I am ok with the standard side wheel and tire, I actually prefer the higher profile tire on that heavier bike. Won't have to buy any tires which is a plus since the trike only has 160 miles on it. Plus I do like the idea I don't have to buy install kits for the rear wheels like you do on a two wheeler. They can reuse the sleeve on the front with just new bearings too. I got a thing about the wheels matching. Those two are similar.

Gunny, do have the link to where you bought your wheels from? I like the ideal of removing the nubs between the spokes.

Got my wheels today, they look great. They also were cleaned up nice in the hub area where some places don't bother. The will get mounted Fri the 26th along with my chrome lowers and rotors etc. As is usual, I'll simply send my stockers back to him PM me if ya want, so far these guys have been great to deal with.

Consider 18 inch anarchy on the front and 15 inch enforcer on the rear. They still match very well. Saves you doing the rear tire change thing.

Yes, it was Surf City Chrome and the price, service, and communication is excellent. He's in Huntington Beach Ca. and I used to live right next door in Santa Ana, Ca so it kinda felt like home lol
