Experimenting with wheels
« on: July 16, 2011, 05:18 PM »
Ok chaps was bord today , so i'd thort i would try a change of wheels on the gt. now i know this type of thread usually goes the other way round ie mags to spokes but i have had these ngk's lying around and wanted to see how they look and im well pleased, not everyones cuppa im sure but it is a rider and i think they set it off nicely you'll have to pardon the pedals tho they'er on so it could be riden have some red ttk's on the way. you cant beat a gud oll swap and change  :LolLolLolLol:

agree with bendy red mags would probably look better - but white still looks good I reckon and nothing wrong with having a play around (it's your bike do wtf you like with it)

before pic looked pukka tho...

Was better looking with spokes, if you have to go the mag wheel route then black Tuff's would look way better than the OGK's which are more a freestyle wheel.  Before anyone starts; Tuff's were around WAY before anyone though up the term freestyle ;).


Better to crash and burn than fade away

white skyways kill it for me, black skyways would suit better, or better still the spokes....
