imo i think they made a huge mistake making these available only for those years. i think they would have been better off making the available for the newer models.

 

Where are these made, my mate wants some wheels for his EVO,

 

Looks nice!!! I'd rock 1!!!

I like the solid rear wheel....
So yeah.... Only 1...

 

I can't tell. The spokes ARE 100% sealed up in what looks like black silicone. I suspect if you added just the valve it "might" be, but I can't make that call because I never considered running it without a tube. So I never bothered to ask. Too many leak down horror stories to risk it. Here's a pic of the rim and how its sealed.


I don't know where they are made but I was told by the reps at Jireh while I was waiting for this second run to arrive that they were coming in from out of the country. So where that is, I have no idea.

I will post pics as soon as I mount it. 4 days off work coming, so soon.

tq745, I suspect these are coming for the newer bikes. One of the many people I spoke to at Jireh kind of implied they wanted to get a feel for the market first. But seeing as they ran out of the first batch almost immediately, I suspect more sizes are on the way.

rlowride..... man, you read my mind. This wheel up front and a chrome Fatboy disc on the back is where I'm headed.

Nice lookin wheel man.
Can't wait to see how that works out for ya, I hope it mounts right up with no problems.
Good luck wid it brotha let us know how it works out.

 

Chrome sucks.

 

Update.
Well, its night time and dark but I wanted to show a quick shot of the wheel mounted. If anyone wants a nice outside shot in the sun they will have to wait till tomorrow. But here is a quick garage shot. I will say this, compared to the stock wheel you can see how stout and heavy duty the King Spoke is. As I posted up in my first post, the King Spoke came in at well over 25 lbs, while the stocker weighs a mere 15. Thats a pretty significant difference. Just say'in.







Here's the stock wheel:

That looks great! Did your original spacer work or did you need to replace them? Hopefully it rides nice & true for you. Please let us know once you get back on the road. Are you going to get the back wheel as well?

 

They look good brah... Congrats! So did you run a tube?

 

Any issues fitting them? Just bolt in with the same original spacers?
