Default 3 spoke or 5 spoke

http://www.revlimiterracing.com/whee...iniwheels.html

I am liking the 5 spoke, what do you guys think and if anyone has another manufacture post it up. These marchesini ones are a bit pricey, but I do like them.

I am planing on putting them on the canyon carver.

I like the 5 spoke as well, the 3 spoke looks to much like a gsxr wheel... I know get the carbon wheels at the bottom of that page they should only cost as much as your bike lol....

I like these rims. http://www.marchesiniwheels.com/ENG/...+Magnesium.htm

cf rims were what I wanted at first. But dollar wise and if you planned on racing the canyon ride, cf's are usually not approved in Tech.

I did not won't to even see how much the cf ones would be, I was fighting with the 1800 price tag on the Magnesium wheels.

Have to find out what evil got and how much weight savings he got for the bucks plus how much he likes them over the stock wheels.

Sure is sparking some interest but still want to get the race tech suspension first. Dam all I need is money.

A lot of people say that getting aftermarket rims are at the top of the list, then suspension. That having the mag or c/f rims were like night and day difference. I was just happy again to get suspension first! lol Suspension is always number 1 on my lists, then the other stuff. Good luck on your suspension.

Yup, also will make easier suspension tuning afterwards with the lighter rims.
