Skyways or Z-Rims...??
« on: July 23, 2007, 08:53 PM »
Just took delivery of my new NOS Z-Rims, freshly built up from German imported rims, stainless steel spokes and Gold Suzues,

Not sure what to keep on the Trickstar ??? The spare wheels will go on my new baby, my NOS Candy Blue Quadangle.... :)

Opinions please  :daumenhoch:

With Graphite Tuffs





With Z's (yes i know the chain is not on and the z's are not on properly, but i was in a rush !)





yes i know the chain is not on and the z's are not on properly, but i was in a rush !

thanks
Matt

I would normally say the Zs, but I think it looks really good with the Tuffs.

Why not build two, one with Zs & one with tuffs  ;)

I agree with him. I love my Skyway wheels but the Z Rims set that bike off nicely.

Those Z's are well nice ... more old schooly and the extra splash of gold is the finishing touch  :4_17_5:
