Having a hard time finding gold rims
« on: February 16, 2015, 12:51:09 AM »

Ive just made my own as I had similar issues. I had a pair of excel rims only in 18" and 21" that I got cheap but they were straight. Then ive been sourcing hubs. As the 500 uses same hubs from 125/250 of different years I managed to source a damaged front wheel from a 125 here in the UK cheap with a good hub and alward on here has got me a rear hub. Ive had the rims powder coated gold,got some spokes and am about to build them up. Powder coating is not to everyones satisfaction but there is the option of having them anodised. They have cost me about £300 inc bearings. I have kept the original wheels from my bike but you also have the option of doing your originals which will be the cheapest way!
Gold do look great.

Warp 9 does not list everything they have and what all it will fit.
I'd contact Alward25 and ask him to check for you:

If he is too busy, let me know and I will check for you.
