Wheel Mod: Which looks better?

[IWN2RYD]

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... :firstplace:

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

#2 , too much white on 1. whats wheel tape:dontknow:

 

[Neez]

I'm in the minority, again. I like #1.

 

[LDFIREWORKS]

# 2 :agree:

I like #2 or option #3 as in leave it stock. I am not a fan of the trim rings. It looks better painted white to match your bike but the original silver just looks like a cheap plastic add on to me. I think the rings would look better if they were polished aluminum to match the spokes, that's just me.

Keep em guessing as to what they saw

#1 on the left and #2 on the right - keep em guessing :joke:

#2 is my preference tho.

:agree: I'm a blackwall guy but if I was going to put wheel dressing on I would go with... #2

I like both, but lean toward 2 more.

need your opinion guys, which looks better 1 or 2?

 

[JimAlpha]

[DynamoBT]

[sinkhole]

1 or 2 ???

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

Aaaaaah, Good old whitewalls! I remember them fondly.

 

[mrk2ejk]

They both look great........but 1 looks more tricked out. IMHO

 

[Roger]

Number 2

My eye's are not what they once were. I would need to see them live, I'm sure the pic's dont do them justice.:ani29:

I have a set of Trim rings, they are still in there package. I did'nt like the way they looked,so there now somewhere in the basement with all the rest of the overflow part I've accumulated through the years, so my vote is not for#:firstplace: but rather#2:2thumbs:

 

[spydsense]

both look very good but I say #1

 

[Big Bird]

:agree: #2 Has a nice off set with the light colored bike

 

[M2Wild]

I prefer #2. The first one look after market and does not blend as well.

 

[ARtraveler]

I like #2 wheel the best
