    Stupid 3-wheeler wheel question...

    Why do all of the stock 3 wheelers have gold wheels? I thought about painting mine, but I guess I need to hang with the cool kids...

    I personally think the gold looks awesome!!

    I loved when I had an 86 250R set on my 87 250SX.......

    Hey DC, how did you get those 250r wheels to fit on the SX, i tried it on my '85and it wouldn't fit over the brake drum. Do the stock wheels for an '86 250r have a larger I.D. than '83 250r or did you remove the drum? Or maybe the ones I had were not stock?

    You gotta make sure they are a large bell design to clear the drum cover, early r's probably were not L-B, And I think the later r's are 9" so even more clearance.

    Because gold was a cool color in the 80's, i think i even had a gold swatch.
    Never argue with an idiot. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

    Calling an illegal alien an undocumented immigrant is the same as calling a drug dealer an unlicensed pharmacist.

    I hate the gold wheels! Makes me think of a ghetto grill.
    The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person who is doing it.
