The rear rim is an Excel 5.5". I got it from Buchanan spoke and rim for $350. I bought a 2002 Thunderbird rear rim off of ebay for $75. Thunderbirds use a stock 16 inch rim. Thunderbird sports use a stock 17inch rim. The Thunderbirds use the same hub as the BA's and SM's. Buchanan Spoke will drill the holes in the rim to fit the stock spokes. I had my dealer laced the new, wider rim to the stock 16 hub and spokes. I bought the rear Avon AM23 at a local Hog shop for $150. It really takes up all the space in the rear end. I have about a quarter inch clearance on either side of the tire. It fits under the rear fender really nice and snug. The 200/60v-16 is actually the same height as the stock 170-80-h15.

I love the color scheme. There is actually gold striping where the rootbeer and cream meet but its hard to tell in the pictures.

Thanks for the compliments. Its really something to see in person.
