Default RE: Going with 18's


ORIGINAL: THNDR

Those are hot! I'm curious on price and if anyone else has them already - how's fit & finish quality?
I know there are some guys here that run this wheel cuz I've seen the pics. I'm not to worried about the finish as they are powder coat and in a worst case scenario I could have them recoated pretty cheap. Price is stupid cheap-- about $500 per. Believe me, I tried to spend more money. I took a serious look at about a half-dozen different wheels but always came back to these. I think they'll suit the look I'm after better than any other wheel I've seen. And hey, I'm not opposed to saving money where I can cuz I'm SURE something down the road will me cost more than I expected.

If any of you running these wheels would care to chime in, I'd love to hear your opinions.

very happy with the 18's and the metzeler tires. bike handles great - better than stock and just as comfortable on the slabs.
