Alloy rims for SOHC-4's (and others) Cheeeeaaaappp!
« on: July 26, 2005, 09:01:58 PM »
OK Guys, I'm getting pressured by the factory to place an order, are standard size 2.15 x 18 rear and 1.85 x 19 front alloy rims the most popular size if I order some of these? I'd hate to get stuck with a shipping container full of rims that no-one is gonna order, at $100.00 US each? Cheers, "nervous" Terry. :-\

I'd like to have 2.15 x 19 front and  3 x 18 rear or 3.5.

If someone is going to go to the trouble of putting non stock rims on a bike then they might as well go bigger and have a better choice of good rubber.

Figures something like this would come around after I stuck what cash I had into my bike already!

i would be interested in rims that are like newer sport bike sizes (like gsxrs, cbrs, ninjas etc)  this would make it easier for tire upgrades.

Being an alloy tire, you should not need a tube either.

G'Day Sean, they come in 6 colors, but you'll have to work out what hubs you're gonna lace them up to, you might get away with a Goldwing front hub on your F2, and an F1 hub on the rear? Hmmmnnnn, interesting! Cheers, Terry.  ;D

I've got my eye on a trick '73 that's been sitting at my friends shop (same place I got my blue parts bike). If I can wear him down 'til he sells it then the rims could go on it. Otherwise, "Comstars anyone?".
