Polishing your rim (bugger off you dirty gits, the edge of the wheel) is popular with racers who often have to change tyres a lot, apart from doing that I think it's tacky

Ahh i see, what about tyres tho? spose it makes sense to have a set of tyres that you know will grip well in the wet, although im sure all tyres now grip well in most conditions? how long was you told they will take?

Ward_125 · 04-08-10, 09:03 AM

Im just swapping the disc n tyres straight over for now and then when i get my money up, il be a set of tyres that are good for the winter.

The guy said give them a week turn around time for the wheels which is ok

Ward_125 · 18-08-10, 04:41 PM

Shit....... Hot
Wheels are finished, getting them fitted this weekend. The phone camera doesnt catch the quality of it, it shines in like 3 different tints and aint far off the colour of the bike.

I almost turned the wheels to a white colour with my sex piss.

Silent11 · 18-08-10, 05:47 PM

max-rs50 · 18-08-10, 07:22 PM
