    Number one does it for me. Me and my white walls.

    IMHO, #1 blends better with the bike...

    #2 - not sure why, exactly. The first one looks a bit "tabbed".

    Both have a certain appeal. And I hate to go with group think, but if I had to choose I'd go with #2.

    Like to see both in person. The white is interesting.

    To me... #2 looks to much like the original. I like #1 because it is unlike any other tire/rim combo on an RSS (Style wise, I am a sucker for originality) and flows with the bike.

    If it was my bike #1 all the way...

    Default Re: Wheel Mod

    I've been toying with the idea of a wider wheel, tire and front fenders on my RT. At least an inch wider. I believe I saw a super-custom job from photos of the Chicago ryders event where an RS owner had done such a thing. Has anyone seen such an application? Any opionions on how a wider wheel/tire would impact handling (+/-)?

    Best,

    Paul
