lighter wheels
looking for lighter wheels for my 06 sporty, 18X3.5 front 17X4.25 rear, possibly an 18X4.25 rear, found only one nice 17X5 rear so far, with the benefits of lighter wheels of better handling and performance you would think there would be more out there. i asked weight of a hogpro wheels set, they said they did not know, harley guys do not care, BULL!!! they must be heavy. i want to go to aluminum wheels for the safety and possible flat repair on road compared to my now wire wheels, i would appreciate any links or directions to find some, we all know certain manufactures come up first and again when we search due to payola$$$$$ thanks bernie

I purchased a set of PMFR Precision Metal Fab wheels. The front weighed in at 16 pounds and the rear weighed in at 22 lbs (6 1/2" x 17") Light weight by billet standards. John is a good person to do business with.
I just can not get to more than 5 pounds/wheel. Tires should be under 10 pounds for the front and 12 ~15 lbs for the rear.
