Anyone identify these skyway wheels ??????
« on: December 10, 2008, 11:25 PM »
Nothing I've seen before.....at least I don't think so  :-\
Not tuff I or II's and not the OE fellas that came on the late geese (they'd need an extra spoke for that  ;D ) they look more like ACS Z mags cos of the V pattern spokes but then there is that dodgy reflector mount and in one of the pics you can clearly see the skyway logo, were these a special for a particular bike manufacturer BITD maybe..................

mongoose had the OE sksyways made for them in the mid to late 80's but they were 6 spoke fellas - don't remember seeing thes ones on a goose anywhere though  :-\

I thought they were the OE ones that came on GT's and Dyno's but there's a slight difference, the spokes have a curvy line when they join the rim. Ebay ones are straight. They sure is ugly though
