You could but rims and spokes and get some to rebuild your wheels.
That is if the bike you have has spoked wheels.

It is not hard to do the wheels your self but you might need a die to put the tread on the spokes.

What does two exhaust add to it bar looks. Question

if you have the spokes then get a push bike shop (not a motorbike shop)
to do it, they lace rims all the time and know what they are doing, bike shops these days are just part changers, they can't fix jack shit
or do anything useful apart from swap out parts,



exhaust adds nothing bar looks Very Happy

The size of the tyre will tell you the rim size.
Mesure from the hub where the spokes go in to the rim to find how long the spokes you need.
You need to get spokes that have a part you can tread at about 3mm
from the rim.


If I spelt something wrong I am sorry.
