Default Help with Wheel Identification

Long shot I know, but I was wondering if anyone recognized these wheels? I have been fighting a leak at the bead and finally found the chrome plating is flaking off in several places where the bead seats. I would like to replace it with the same style as it has the same the rear but have been struggling to locate one. The bike is an 08 street glide and this is a 21” wheel. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

If ya stand to the side and look, just how much of the rear wheel can you see?
I have chrome 18" wheel on mine so more rim shows than a 16" but not enough to matter.
I am debating a smaller front wheel for mine but Chrome is all I care about as it will definitely match enough.

A while back, I had a set of wheels and couldn’t identify. There were no discernible markings so I emailed a very popular wheel manufacturer and asked them if this was one of their discontinued wheels. They ID’d the wheels. Wheel manufacturers are good at identifying the competition.

Thanks to everyone for the input. I tried the bead sealer without any luck. I was able to contact the previous owner and they gave me a lead on the manufacturer. I agree with you on really just needing a chrome wheel as the rear wheel is not very visible on a bagger. For now I have just installed a tube until I make a decision on what route to go. Thanks again!
