So apparently my brother-in-law works at a company that makes the rims in the attached link
http://www.performancemachine.com/motorcycle-forged-wheels.html

He told me last night he could get a set for me, not sure if they'd fit or not.

If they would fit, would I go with 18 X 8 for the back and 21 X 3.5 for the front?

He told me to make my pick online and let him know.....


Obviously I'm skeptical that he can actual pull a set down, but I'll put in the request if they fit...

Don't know what size the front stock is but the stock rear is 18 X 7.5 if you want to run a tire larger than a 240 you should order a 8.5 before everyone jumps on me I know that a larger tire will fit the stock wheel but if he's going to get new wheels then he should get the most bang for his buck....personally I wouldn't go above the 240 but that's just me.

I do like the Rival, but will they fit?

Every site I've seen them on seems to state they are for Harleys with 1" axles.

BIL wouldn't know which rim would fit on any particular bike. Im sure I'd have to be very specific when detailing the rims to him.

He did say he can only get polished version, no chrome or anodized, would have to get that done on my own.....

I like those they are very nice but still too similar to what we have right now. I would consider chroming what you have (2 rims, pulley,rear dust cover and the brake and clutch levers.) for about $500. That is, if you like chrome. I have a link that I want to give you. These wheels will fit the Stryker. I am just going to take what I have and get it chromed.

NOTE:
My buddy did negotiate and got the matching rear pulley thrown in with his deal. Just an FYI

Nice rims there.....not sure if BIL's company makes those. When he said he could get a set, he meant free

I like wicked, and the Raven

I like black or something like 11Strykers rims. But if I can get a set for nothing (I'm skeptical he can come through, but I'll put in the request, and I need to make sure they'll fit)

I'll have to take Roadkills advice

I think the Rival would look sick powdered black with the high points machined out or chromed out. It would keep with the chrome hilights on the Stryker.... ;)
If you go on the site and click on it, they have it in black and chrome, as well as other colors.

I noticed afterwards... I was busy changing out my saigas butt stock out for a pistol grip, adjustable stock, and a picatinny rail system with flashlight. I got a better look at it later on, but they left the entire inside chrome as well. I was meaning to black out the whole thing, then to machine out the high spots giving it a different design. But I understand what you mean!!! :)

I looked at the prices on there. Couldn't figure out if that price included just the wheel or the whole set of items shown below the wheel...or am I just a little slow on this one?

I have the 18 x 8.0 rim on mine with a 250 Avon. 8.5 width rim would work but not needed.

I would be careful that these rims won't be hot if ya know what I mean!! seeing they would be free, sends alot of flags up. Just saying. LOL

I'm assuming it would considered to be more of a family discount......... perhaps he gets 1 free set a year......
