Custom Spoke Wheels was created by boogy699
I am wanting to buy some custom chrome spoke rims for my KZ1000 and was wondering if anyone knew where to get some. i am on a tight budget so a cheap place suggested would be appreciated. Also do I buy another sprocket or do they make them with my hub already. Sorry, I really dont have the first clue so sorry if this is a dum question.

Nothings cheap!
Check some old posts here. Plenty of discussion.

Even cheap China rim products are $250 a ring 18 x 5.5
Stainless Buchannon spokes are a $100 a set.
Keep an eye on ebay and hope you win! You got to pay there too! Everyone wants nice rims!

It would probly be cheaper to find a decorative chromer, and just send in your rims/spokes to be done, rather than buy new.

Then again, they are really old... New rims $600 - $1000 or more...
