Alternative wheels for Sv

Post by **Zax** » Sat Nov 17, 2007 11:33 am

All new aftermarket wheels are expensive.

Alternative suggestion do something with the ones that you already have... polished rims and colour matched spokes ?? ( Like Wiz has on his R1.. )

Otherwise you will may have to start saving your cash for an aftermarket set.

silver rims with candy blue in the centre fading out on the spokes will look good on your sv

polish your rims , it looks wicked , hard work to start wi but alot easier to look after than u think an it looks better than badly fitted rim stripes

IMHO if you go for anything other than a good one colour (either silver or black) you'll only end up knocking off Â£Â£'s from your eventual trade in price for only a cosmetic change.

If it was me I'd only get them powder coated if they the paint was begining to be effected by the elements, otherwise I'd save your cash for tyres!

Having said all that, if you want to change the wheels then go for it!

Hell, the amount I've forked out on my bikes in the last few years I've got a cheek to talk! As the old saying goes, "do as I say not what I do"!!!

thats a matter of opinion ,

some mods to wheels can really make a bike look alot better and maybe make the bike more desirable when it comes to selling/trading it in

Yes, it was expressed as my opinion hence the IMHO (In My Humble Opinion) at the start of the paragraph.

ok then Big Kneed Al (master of the emergency stop & "stand up" comedian) in my humble opinion the world would be a pretty boring place if we all had either black or silver wheels or even bog standard bikes for that matter !!!

whats wrong wi changin the appearence o your bike to make it look better/more individual than other peoples bikes

i must say tho toonser changing your wheels on your bike seems a bit drastic to me when there is so many things u can do to your wheels to make them look more interesting/individual , rim stripes still suck tho !!! I can't believe it's not butter!

He's already said it was his OPINION, so any answer to this is pointless.. it's still just an OPINION.

Personally I think it's pointless too.

Anything which makes the bike easier to identify is a bad idea IMHO.

If you want to mod that's fine, but you will be restricting potential resale to people with exactly your taste.

modifyin our bikes is down to personal taste , if we want to copy other peoples bikes/paint jobs/ mods then hey ho whatever thats up to the individual , as far as im concerned a standard bike is a borin bike !!!! thats my humble opinion if thats ok wi certain people out there that let peeps hav an opinin !!!!!

if your nae happy wi the bike that uve got then why the feck did u buy it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is the weather, like, completely pants at home right now?
Jeez, some tetchy people on the board in the last day or so.

Changing wheels to make you feel good about the bike is a good thing.
Anything that makes you feel good and doesn't cause anyone else a problem, is good.

Paying for bandwidth to have people have a go at you, saintly!

Must be the phase of the moon, my entire loving crew have been at it today, feel more like mother Teresa than my actual job desription today.

y'all have a nice day now . . . .

I know!

Big Kneed Al (master of the emergency stop & "stand up" comedian) has put his own opinion across (which is about customizing bikes for f*ck sake!) and R1BALDY2 is going nuts over nothing!

Jeez chill.....
