Default wheels size?

hey guys im shopping for new rims 4 my HD prem.ive got the old 13" torana chromies on at the moment.looking at something like 15" weld prostars.saw a sweet HD with 15's on it and it looked trick.but the more i look at pics of cars and rims im thinking a little bigger like 17's.15' or bigger i would be getting low profile tyres.would someone be able to do a basic wheel swap.nothing fancy,just want to see different sizes on my car..with wheels like prostars,torq thrusts,or similar.15 and 17inch or thereabouts?

i just found a few that looked good, probably some of them may not fit, but they looked good anyway, my favourite is the top left - gmax princeton

if you have any favourites post a link of the wheel and we can add them to the car for you

anyway hope you like these ones




just in case you cant see what the rims look like properly here they are

I think you'll find that you're mistaken, vintageholden... Big wheels on old cars is great

here are your wheels, these rims may only come in 15", they do look good, but note my pic has them as a larger size, dont rule out modern big rims for your car, i have seen them and they do look a treat over the smaller sized 'old mags' it is 2008 after all

hope you like the pics the first one is the prostars and the second draglite

here are those wheels, did it quickly so the wheels may not look like they suit the pic, im sure you can sort out which ones are which, i have tried to get them to look as close to around 16" as i can, this is not an exact science and is only guess work.

these are the last lot...haha sorry
im thinking big now.i think u have swayed me.
these 3 the biggest they go is 17" which any bigger i think would look too big and would lift up the car way too much.
