Guest joolsvfr Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 001 8 spoke wheel in old paint and old avon tyre from breakers. paid £40 001 new wheel on bike 002 an other photo of wheel 003 yes you guest it and an other photo of the same wheel 004 my bike with the new powder coated HRC Gold wheels on Hi guys this is the 8 spoke wheel that i bought in the bike breakers in Gloucester for £40, this including a half decent Avon tyre. I sold the tyre and the front tyre for £43 rear and £20 front not bad hey. I then sent the both wheels off to the powder coaters to get them bead blasted to get all the old gold paint off. And then they had the Gold HRC colour put on. I then bought a front Michelin PR3 tyre and it has taken me until now to find a rear, they are very rare now in the UK. the next batch in the UK will now be end of April start of May so if you Guys in the UK see some in a tyre dealers grab them quick. Here are some of the photos after i took it for a 30 mile run. sorry it was not sunny, it never is this time of year in wales. Jools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer vfrcapn Posted March 18, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted March 18, 2011 Nice wheel color & nice bike. I just picked up a whole 3G rear end for $200 including the same silver 8-spoke. I'm thinking of pc'ing it for my 5G, the gold might work....
