$1500 rims on a bike that cost $4k when new?  That's a little ghetto riche, don't you think?  I'm gonna toss some 24" rims on my 1988 Cutlass Ciera, that'll look dope yo.

money, those rims cost more than a gs, but would be good for people that want to serious performance and stick with narrow rims.

I think the moral is: dont burn 1500 bucks upgrading a bike in one aspect. if your gonna go all out on the GS, go all out.  you'll end up spending a shaZam! ton.  But it's already proven that you can make a GS damn sexy ( just look at Jim's stuff )  If your gonna get those rims for the GS at least have the decency to upgrade the swingarm and front end and maybe custom paint and major engine mods.

Or you could  take you 10-12k and buy a Duc or Repsol or soething that comes from the factory with bling :thumb:

ehhhh...I'm alive :laugh:  cool man.  I didnt say anything  about a front end. that makes sense. better suspension better braking :thumb: I want my bike back but insurance says to ket it stay until they asses it. already said if it's totalled, I can buy it back for 25% of whatever they pay out :thumb:

no the bts carbon fiber rims hold any the same type of tires that any other bike or rim does.  the difference is the weight  and the amount of power it takes to turn them over.   I believe the stats were    30-40% less weight then regular tungston or cobalt or aluminum rims.   And 40 % less effort to rotate them.. which translates into more horesepower.
