how easy is it to fit wider wheels to a z500?
i have the std wheels at the moment and i just think they look a little weedy.
did kawasaki make different width alloy wheels?

i'd love something like this:

Basically you might find some special rims that are a bit wider that stock but not much. Usually gettin a wider rim means changing the swingarm and front to newer ones. The rims and tires just don´t fit inside teh arm or stock forks.
