Default Really? Is it that hard?

I have yet to understand why all of these companies out there who manufacture spoke wheels for Harleys do not sell or produce a 17X6 wheel for Softails with a 200 rear tire. I have looked at Ride Wright, American Wire, HD Wheels, Landmark Mfg and just about every where else I can think of. I have googled it, searched high and low and the only option that I can come up with is a 18X5.5 to replace the 17X6. Doesn't make sense to me, but who am I....

If anyone knows of anyone out there who sells a 17X6 60 spoke rear wheel for Softails please post it here.

Thanks
