Sell your Dynamags and keep these. Those wheels look awesome. If I still have my vmax I would probably be buying those from ya

Yeah I hate cleaning spokes that is why I am not sure if I wanna keep them. Unfortuanatly I can only afford to keep these or the Dynamags. Decisions decisions.

+1 on the cleaning, but they would just the ticket for a drag bike setup!

Not the most accurate but I put them on my bathroom scale which usually show a little heavy compared to the post office & the front as pictured showed 19 lbs & the Rear with the 25/5.5 X 18 slick & rotor showed 31 lbs. I like them but am probably gonna stick with my tubless tires & dyna mags since I am not shooting to have an all out dragbike.

I saw those on eBay, but thought the same thing on cleaning them.

S 100 and one of those cone shaped bristle brushes make quick and thorough job of cleaning wire wheels. Also hitting them with a spray wax after detailing helps them resist brake dust and grime build up making future cleaning that much easier! Just don't wax the tires!
Kyle knows I have all the pieces to make a "Nines" copy except the wheels! Oh if I were born a rich man instead of so handsome and intelligent! LOL

These wheels were sold to John Furber. He has the original Takin it to the 9's bike & is using them to help restore it back to its former glory.

I had them on Ebay but made a deal with John. They are custom wheels. I dont know of any spoke wheels that are an easy swap.

Wow. Wow. wow.

The "Takin' It TO The Nines" Max - combined with the first time I heard a Max with the Kerker - forever sealed the deal for me on what a COOL bike looks and sound like.

I have been looking into how I could go about getting some spoked wheels on my Max, hadn't seen any after fairly exhaustive research. And now, right at my V-Max hangout, I see a set! Awesome.

If I had the money or something to sell, I'd be offering. Too bad I'm stuck with repairs and maintenance on 4 cars right now.

Getting THAT LOOK is the dream. Please feel free to keep them for 6 months to a year, when I might have a chance at buying them :whistlin:.
