Advice on wire wheels
I am planning on putting some 80 spoke wheels on my scoot soon and wondered it anyone had any experience with KC int.
I can get a set of 16" wheels for $600.00, but wonder about the quality.

Wow, I want to know now too! I've been thinking about some new wheels but the idea of dropping a grand on them doesn't sound too nice. I've got to know if these are any good.

RE: Advice on wire wheels
The price is good. Looked on there site. Me personally I would shop and compare the type and brand of hubs, bearings, spokes and wheelsand then decide if that price is a great deal or one that is average for what you get. Are they madein the US ? I am sure they are decent quality, may not be as good as oem though. I know if and when I change out my spoked wheels the new ones will have to give me the option of running tubeless tires period. Marsh by the looks of your bike and the care and thought you put into it I would check with american wheel and also call these guys (ridewright)and get an opinion on what they charge for 80 spokes and the specs of their wheels. May cost a little more but they may be well worth the extra cost. They build 40,50,60,80 and fatdaddys made in house. My buddy bought a pair of 50 spoke with powder coated wheels and hubs and twisted spokes. Very good quality. When I buy it will be from here. JMO

I got blackbike wheels. Top notch made to order. Powdercoated and chrome, billet hubs. I would say blackbike makes the best spoked wheels. Not many people know about them. They were the ones supplying all the wheels on the show build or bust.
