Anyone tried SS rims?
« on: June 08, 2020, 11:54:27 AM »
I found interesting set of rims with spokes.

Stainless must be easier to restore if slightly scratched than chrome.
More polishing though for shiny surface.
Single rim w spokes available too.

I like that SS rim/spokes option PeWe. :) 8) I would like to inquire if they make wider rims of the same profile and spoke application holes,if it could be ordered that way ??

They look great, wish I knew about this when I was doing the K3 750. I may need to backfit these on to it, great for our Maui salt spray.

They have lots of SS rims. 40 holes with correct angles for CB hub a must.
My buy now button finger is very eager ;D

Need to find a rear hub in good condition, cheap. Not cracked brake liner.
Front hub on the shelf
