14" rear doesn't appear to be that common anymore. Has anyone successfully fitted a 21"/18" front rear combo on these 200/250cc bikes? Worth it?

Going down a size to a 12" doesn't seem practical and would look dumb in my opinion.
Might be a good time to try Taobao. That's where I found a great deal on my new wheel sets.
