I think the Profile laced wheels are really great looking! Very distinctive look to them...

I got the profile laced wheels almost by accident. I figured I wanted the cast wheels because they're less worrisome. I've always had laced wheels just 'cus they look right on a motorcycle. Anyways, the only RG my dealer had in stock in the color I wanted had the profile wheels on it. I think they're bitchin' looking and I'm glad I got them instead of the cast wheels. Just lucky, I guess.

Not only do they look really nice compared to old style wires, they are much easier to keep clean because they don't have the Lip around em that traps dirt and road grime. The Lip on the old style is actually a safety feature to keep the tire tube in proper position. I have never seen the inside of my Profiles but I would be curious to see what the did to compensate for this feature.....

I think the profile wheels look awesome, but I would never have them on a bike for serious long distance/high mileagetouring.
