Re: nice set of wheels

Talk about excess...........I love it !!!! . I dont understand why they keep those horrible forks though... I would think they would flex like crazy with disc brakes and big wheels.

Re: nice set of wheels

so... hypothetically... if there were another billet wheel design similar to something like that... would there be interest? This was about a 20 minute wheel design, so with time I would be sure there were some sexier lines, tapers, etc...

Re: nice set of wheels

Depends on the price and the finished look, imho.

I wanted BILLETs wheels until the $1300 price tag showed.. I can get a set of 18s machined for my truck for about that price. (And that's 4 rims..LOL)

I'm sure most of us in the Monkey/CT ZB world would be very interested in 12" billet wheels with NSR specs. Worthy of some wide rubber and a real brake rotor. Maybe even cutouts for a speedo drive.....Oh yeah...keep the design simple BTW.

Nice Erik.
I agree with both Jude and Jim.
NSR spec wheels in a price range cheaper than the Galespeeds
