I'm selling my current custom painted rims and I'm looking at these rims -

The first ones are BSA 305's from Wheelguyz, I love these but its going to cost me $1000 to buy them and get them shipped to the UK. (Then I will have to pay import duty and VAT) They are supplying the wheels with spacers to overcome the captive rotor issue - does that sound OK? The guy said he has done this for other Tib owners.




Alternatively I can get these in the UK for about $800, they are only available in 'shadow chrome' and I'm not sure how it will look on my mota.




I really love the BSA, but if one gets mangled it will be difficult to get a replacement.[/img]

maybe you should get the BSAs, but order 5 of them instead of 4. that way, if one gets damaged you won't have to put up w/ the hassle later on.

what size rim are we lookin at? 17"?
