it's going to make it less flick-able (ie a litte slower).

on the flip side, you'll be able to run DC3s

i will def let everyone know how the bike handles with them on...

as for pics you can count on it! here is a pic with the rim stripes.

with the rims off the bike the installation of the stripes were a breeze! i got them from pj's parts. they were one continuous stripe with an applicator. in my opinion these are much better than the tape works stripes i had on my old rims. and easier to get perfect (for all you perfectionists like me)

Damn those wheels are nice and I have been telling myself for a while that I don't need them because three spokes look cool too  Grin  waytogo

Suzuki Blvd M109R " Sliver " = assassinated by cager
PW 696 " Pearl " = traded in
