Identify these aluminum wheels
« on: February 15, 2021, 02:34:15 PM »
Anyone know what these rims are off of? 18in and 20in aluminum spoked wheels. Also a hub that was with them. Got them in a tote of spare parts with a bike.

750 A rims ..
That's what someone suggested they may be. Seem to be a wanted upgrade worth selling? I won't use them.

Take a look for surface markings, specifically for 17 and 19 inch diameters. I forget what the widths are.

Someone with a '77 or'78 750K could use them as an upgrade.

Rims get measured in wrong spot, often..
 I hate it on eBay when they refer to widest  point as rim width...

No need to measure they'll be stamped with diameter x width.

Can't find any bends or damage. Little bit of polishing and they will be sweet.
