looks great

lets test it out on my bike

 

Renegades, correct? Very nice indeed.

 

BTW, what are you doing with your old rear rim? 8)

 

Yes, Renegades - haven't settled on what I'm doing with my stock stuff yet - everyone keeps asking me, lol... :wink:

 

Bare,

Those rims are sick. What kind of coating to keep away the brake dust demons?

Respectfully,

David

 

Them look SWEEEEEEETTTTTTTT!
I can't wait to see them on the bike, keep us informed.

 

There's no turning back Bro, just sell your stock stuff.

 

Those are looking mighty fine!

I was just thinking yesterday...Its about time for you to post some pix of your bike

 

I agree with all of the above. Those are SICK. They are going to look AWSOME on you bike. Congrats. oh yea <<<<<<<<

 

those are sweeeet...

 

Wowwwwwww I like the looks of that!

 

What's the deal with the number "4"s? Inside story? Or some other big thing I'm missing?
BTW, I'm looking forward to seeing them. And getting back in to ride.
Dave

 

Those are the Renegade "Nightmare" wheels. Even though it looks something like a 4 I think its a coincidence.

I can't wait to see the wheels on the bike. Its gonna be bad. People are gonna flip out when they see the bike.

 

Those are terribly ugly, so just send them over to me and I'll install them on my ugly bike and save you the embarrassment. :wink:

 

Holy Sh*t!!! :shock: :shock: :shock:

Those are tight!

 

There's no turning back Bro, just sell your stock stuff.

Oh it's getting sold, lol... I would never DREAM to go back to stock...

Once you've seen the promised land... :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

Question I've always wanted to ask...

I know zero about cutting wheels so this may be a stupid question, but hell I figure I might learn something.

When designing a "wheel" are any considerations given to the amount of weight, power, HP, torque or any other such factors somehow programmed into the final design?

I guess, in other words when someone (Bare :?: ) dumps the clutch on a big 240/300 (for example) are they in any risk of trashing a custom wheel? Inquiring minds want to know!

Stock wheels are cast and the custom wheels like the ones in this post are forged. A forging is much stronger than a casting. Of course the design does factor in. Personally I am not aware of a billet wheel failing.

 

Thanks Hal!

So it would stand to reason that buying custom wheels from a proven, reputable source (that would be YOU Hal :lol: ) versus "Joe's Machine Shope" is the safe way to go. As you seem to indicate nice looking does not necessarily equal safe and functional.

Wonder what kind of testing hoops OEM (Honda?) have to jump through to get a wheel to market. Has to be huge I would think to avoid potential suit issues should one fail.

Thanks for the feedback!

 

Bare, I think you are making a mistake putting those wheels on. Now, everyone will want a set!

 

Great choice, Bare! They look outstanding off the bike, can't wait to see them on the bike.

 

So Bare...

Are they mounted yet? Come on! It's been a day! Where are the pics? :lol:

What tires you using?

You are riding to Colorado for the 4th right?

 

hey, are you going to sell your caliper? that's the last piece I need for my rear wheel swap.

 

Those are freakin' sweet....can't wait to see them on my :shock: , I mean your bike
