Rate My Rim

[jammin]

hey people. I've decided to go ahead with the build of the OVERKILL. but before I got started with the frame I decided to build my rear wheel first as this this looked the most difficult part. All I want now is some feedback as to what you all think. And feel free to post your own rims here too for us all to see.

[trikeman]

Fantastic job.

[TheKid]

Looks like a 68 spoke hub. Excellent mod. That's a lot of drilling!

[KoolKat]

Whoa! That's a piece of work!

[jimFPU]

Wow, very nice. That sure is a ton of spokes...

a hell of a lot of drilling. there's a grand total of 128spokes now. Looks and spins very nicely.

[moteurhead]

nice work - I wonder how long it will be before we see an
overkill chopper in a lowrider show.

[SirJoey]

Showoff! ;)

Seriously dude, very, very nice!

Now, stop raising the bar! :D

BTW, welcome to the Krew!

Even if your arch-enemy saw that rim, he'd have to compliment you! It's mesmerizing!:rolleyes4: Down right georgeous! First thing you need to do when you get the bike finished is take that rim out mudbogging! I wanna see pics of the first cleaning experience.
Thanks for the pic,

Great work! A matching front wheel will fit in nicely. Here's one I took apart, painted, and reassembled:

You can get them here. They also sell a disc brake kit to adapt a rear wheel to a front wheel with a disc brake.

Most Excellent! I really like the frame angles - that chop will ride like a dream when it is done.

Brad

[jimFPU]

I think my kids would say 'Suhweeeet!!'

[TobyKenobe]

That is beautiful dude, well done. Kinda puts me off doing mine!

[trikeman]

Excellent work.

[John Lewis]

HOPE YOU ALL LIKE WHAT I'VE MADE OUT OF A PILE OF JUNK

[rickairmed]

Jammin looks like thats gonna be one sweet ride when its all done great job.


Rick

[scootdaddy]

oooohhhh yea

Keith

[Radical Brad]

And it's gonna ride great with that rounded profile rear tire. Nice!

Brad

[jammin]

Im glad your all liking the bike. Gives me great confidence to tackle another one with some more radical touches. Me is thinking single sided rear end next on a car alloy wheel. But still using a moto bike tire like in this build. Watch this space peeps.

[SirJoey]

That's just great, man!
Love the mega-spoked wheel, & round profile tire!
