Did the swap....

Just did the swap to HD rims -

On the scale factory L wheel = 65lbs
HD rim with stock tire = 79lbs
The whole combo is about 1 inch taller.

What tire pressure should be run in these tires?

Is the added wieght more of a factor than the added height (in relation to the overall affect on gear ratio)?

I can't tell but maybe a little less accelleration, not sure but definitely can tell it in steering feel, maybe this will go away with a lower profile tire - anybody know?

Do like the way it looks though!!!!!

I run the tires at 35psi.

I never noticed any acceleration change but they are heavier for sure. The speedo will not be too far off man.

PICS!
