Opinions on wheels

Hi guys,

Just after some feedback on my wheels please. I recentley had them powder coated black, and was a bit concerned on how they would look with the grey frame.

Turned out OK though I think, what you reckon?

Neil

Looks the dog's mate.

I'm gonna do mine with a red pin strip also and fix a carbon fibre front guard.

Ditto. Also done a few of the other comments that have been made. Have carbon front and rear huggers and will be having red lines very soon.

Think the whole red body work and black wheels is a good look.

Why not consider doing the frame red and swing arm black next winter ?

Nelly at Cornerspeed did me a set of 996 wheels in black powder coat for around £120 ish. I gave him the loose wheels and the price included the tyres being stripped and re-fitted. Very good finish.

It cost me a £20 to get the tyres removed, then £80 to get them powder coated.

Glad you like them, nice to get a vote of confidence. Added a vented front mudguard aswell now, looks nice.

Any opinions on a set or rearsets? Is there anything out there that isnt going to cost as much as Arrows etc?

Thanks in advance,

Neil
