Yeah, I posted on this two or three times. One of the previous posters contacted the company for some information.

He was quoted over $1000 for the pipes and the tank itself was $1200.
The tank isn't one that they provide, you have to send in YOUR stock tank that they will chop up and form to look similar to the one pictured.

It's a nice looking bike, but not very economical to try and build.

I've machined those wheels before and it's stupid to do. Just because you see pics of something someone did doesn't mean it works or is safe.

Now, if you don't mind wide glide trees to run that wheel it'll just be a bolt on deal.

The tires are Beck...hard to find but there are plenty others that are similar.

I could continue about the minor mods that make up that bike but you only asked about the wheels & tires.

And BMX, check out these tires. I think they're the same ones Summit sells, no?

or these

These seem to be a bit thinner.

One of my club brothers has a shop out in Rancho Cucamonga that can do all this for you, or just acquire/fab the parts for you if that's the route you want to go. The shop is called Spitfire Motorcycles, here is their site http://www.spitfiremotorcycles.com/ give them a call or swing by their shop ask for Paul and tell him Patrick from Vegas sent you to him.

I sent him an email with the photos of the Guerilla so he knows what you are aiming for...It is a bit difficult to find the address on the website. Should you need it the address is 8727 Utica Ave R.C., CA 91730
