Interesting. Again, if you are looking for effects, this may be your thing.

Myself, I get that piercing pain in the side of my head, when I see one of these baggy-panted kids rolling up to the traffic light in their neon-light accessorized car with the wheel covers still spinning long after they came to a complete stop......I am sure, I am a one of the few who don't like it. :roll:

You too :?: And I thought I was the only one. What's worse than the spinning rims at stop is the rims spinning in the opposite direct of travel on the highway. Throws my equilibrium out of kilter don't you know.

Hi Bob/All



I like the rims......so count me in. I think they are beautiful and creative.



Would I buy them or put them on one of my bikes. Nope



Would I put them on a Ducati 1098. No



Would I accept a free set and put them on a bike like Victory makes .....yupp... in a heartbeat.



Bob......thanks for the link

Never thought of "sun & planet" gears as bling before...... :shock: Fair play to the mind behind these but as others have said, it wouldn't suit bikes in my stable......



Lemme dig out that Wankel Rotary & see where I can fit the axle...... :wink:



Thanks for sharing broook........... :thumupp:
