Tews19 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 How can I get an 8 spoked rim for my 99 VFR? I have seen them here and there but I really dig it and what modifications would I need to run this set up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer vfrcapn Posted July 3, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted July 3, 2015 eBay, classifieds, Craigslist. 1990-1993 VFR's used them. Same 180 tire as the 5th gen. They'll run $150-$300 depending on condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Cogswell Posted July 3, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted July 3, 2015 There's one on ebay now. Be sure to verify condition with any seller and consider return policies if the wheel arrives bent, rashed or there are condition issues not apparent in the listing. I was browsing ebay in May and looked through the sold listings - there were 7 that sold in April, one for just $80, and one with some rash for $599! Best of luck.

Member Contributer Duc2V4 Posted July 3, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted July 3, 2015 As what was stated. The deals can be found you just have to ready to strike while the iron is hot. I helped fellow member Duccmann acquire his wheel, we used my PayPal account. He had been searching quite feverishly for some time and he ended up finding a front/rear set for $150 + $30 shipping. It was a buy it now option bid, so I bought then! $180 for front wheel and an 8 spoke in great shape! Split the cost and it was $90 for the 8 spoke! All the previous 8 spoke wheels I acquired, 2 for myself and 2 for fellow riders (Duccmann being one), were all under $300 with shipping. The least was for $249 (other than the $180 deal). How much your willing to spend is really the same as asking how much are they worth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmythecop Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I am finally in the 8 spoke club, thanks to the CC. I feel pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I have seen whole bikes on Craigslist for 300.00. You could buy the bike and part it out to pay for your 8 spoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
