Default Compatible wheels for 2009 Road King Classic?

Hi all,
Im thinking about to replace my spoked rims on my 09 RK C with some cast wheels from a Ultra or something.. What options do i have for a direct fit? What to look for on ebay? Would my brake discs, wheel axle and pulley from my spoked rims fit those cast wheels? I have ABS brakes, but i guess i can just change the abs-bearing over to the new wheels, if they fit a non abs wheel?
I just found a pair of wheels from a 2012 Ultra for sale, without break discs an bearings, would they fit?

Thanks🙂

any touring wheel with 25 mm bearing will fit, you just have to have abs bearings installed. spacers should all be the same. one thing to watch is rotors. I believe the pre '14 rotors mount to the hub, I think the ones on your spoke wheel do as well, on my street glide they mount out by the spokes but you can get the matching rotors if necessary but finding a wheel that has a rotor that mounts like yours will save you some money. Removing the bearings generally destroys them or makes them unsafe to reuse.

Some late model wheels will fit with some effort, there are many threads on fitting different wheel on touring bikes.
