Is it just the picture, or has the bottom rim got a big bit of paint missing?
Infact, the the top spoke of the first one looks the same also. |

Just got the tyres on but the bearing l,ve been sent are the wrong size will have to go to the bike shop in the morring, only thing l,m worried about is that l don,t have the gear to blannce the wheels but the bt014 that were on before did,nt have any weights on the rims so hopefully it will be ok. ____________________ Past:NRG50,AF1125(x2),NSR125RR,ZZR250,CX500,VFR400,KR1S,ZZR600(x2),CB400N,YZF1000(x2),KH125,Z200,FX400R,CBR954RR(x2)GPZ500S,GT550,VFR750F(x2),RD350N,XR650R,CBR600F,CB250,KDX250,YZF750R,CRM250,400EXC,KLR650,TTR600RE,DR350S,R100GSPD,RGV250,VMAX1200,DL650 Present:G650XC,C12,KZ750,1190ADV |

Marki's right, i powdercoated my wheels and had the tyres refitted and it didnt need any balancing with the dot lined up.
£86 for 2 is more than the £40 it cost me, but at least they masked your disc mount surfaces off properly took me about 2hours with a knife and some nitromors to get them to sit flush.
Powdercoating is good for taking up any wear in the cush drive too, if you can't get the sprocket carrier back in, spray the rubbers with wd40 and the sprocket carrier goes in nice. |

I called in to their place a few weeks back to see about getting a kart chassis done. From the completed parts behind the counter it looks like they do a very good job.
The price for the wheels is reasonable but they wanted £140 to do my chassis Feck that. No wonder one of them has a 911 parked outside. |

Looks good, I done the same thing to my wheels last Nov. Cost quite a bit when you factor in £70 for the powder coating, £20+ for the bearings, £10 for someone to remove/refit and balance the tyres, £5 for some loc-tight, £5 for rim tape and other little bits ____________________ My bikes are at https://www.bikepics.com/members/dynamight/ |

They do look good.
At £500 though, fook me!
Try BSL if you ever need bearings again. (quote account no. 122492 for possible discount) - stolen from visordown.
20 squid for a plain bearing is daylight robbery. |

Those look mint. I had mine done at triple-s over winter, they're not cheap but they do a cracking job. Sound like you had the same problem as me with bearings. I just went into Earnshaws in huddersfield & bought the bearings they told me I needed. Rear ones were ok but front were nothing like. Looked up online and found most places selling bearings had the wrong ones listed!!
Got right ones eventually & it came to £26 for 4 bearings. (didn't do sprocket carrier.)
I also fitted new disks as well as new tyres.
Not cheap, but they looked mint!
