Title: Magnesium PVM wheel
Post by: Herr Tod on January 25, 2008, 02:42:27 PM
Got this on eBay pretty cheap, I bid because I could use an extra set of rotors :shock: Have to call PVM monday to ask if they do checks on their wheels to make sure it's still good, must be at least 10 years old. Would be cool though if it's still good, after a new color it fits right in :grin:

LOL, What's that?  Everyone DOESN'T want to be like me?!  :grin:

Black with the logo will look great.

I just took a look at the PVM website and was shocked at how much their latest 20 spoke wheels cost, $2,100 USD!  That's close to what I paid for my 97 B12 five years ago.  Premium motorcycle performance & quality does not come cheap!

I think it's pretty cool, the wheel being one of the oldest inventions and it's still getting better :shock:
