New Wheels on bike
The wheels look great on your bike. I think though you might have a small problem though. I think the rotors are on the wrong sides! I believe they are e directional and they should follow the the same geometry as the wheel. If I'm all wet on this one I'd be surprised and sorry. I would check it though. Good luck. Like I said I think the wheels look great. I think with the rotors mounted correctly you'll actually open up the wheel.

Thanks for all the complements guys! After looking at all the pictures here; I think I'm going to get some streched bags to round it off.
I thought the same thing when I first saw them. If you look at the picture below you can see that the rotors acualy follow the lines of the "swoops" (for lack of a better word) on the wheels. The swoops curve back in under the rotor.

NICE improvement! In case you haven't had a chance to notice it yet, those larger diameter wheels will roll over little road cracks and crevices a bit nicer too. Oh, and being able to check the air pressure a lot easier doesn't hurt either. Ain't it great ................. looking too!
