Looking at rims and what would be considered the better quality rim?
Sun BFR or Alex Supra E Pro?
And are either suited to a '99/2000 bike?

The BFR's deffo, Alex rims branded 'Supra-E's' came out a little later, but they were out then branded as 'Alex Fat Rims' - identical rims, different decals.
I'd go with the BFR's - they've both got chrome that would bubble if you fart near them (then again so did Araya Super 7X's) but you'll get the same strength rim but lighter with the BFR.
Then again though, if you want your wheel to be over 50% blingy chrome, go for the Alex rims

The Supra E's are triple wall rims, and the Suns are double.

No probs - or to throw a spanner in the works you could go Sun Big City rims - they came out summer '99 n'all

Supra E for rear. Heavier than BFR but stronger.

Yeah J's were decent as are the prolite hubs. I had a set of those in smoked chrome. Nice and strong and not too heavy.
