Michael Hardman Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Im in a pickle, my Koxx rim has seen better days. Im looking for a rim, it has to be silver all over. All I have found is the Koxx and Viz rims I dont eant another Koxx rim and I refuss to buy anything Viz for good reasons. The closest Ive seen is the Monty rims but I heard they are crap. I know alex used to do silver rims as my old one was but I sold it. Im really stuck and I think me being picky has made my choice very hard. Ohit has to be 36 stupid King otherise I would have bought the Echo ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty-trials Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Theres the X-lite Phatso. This isnt a Monty rim and is just the same as a DX32. Also Mavix do an alternative silver rim which isnt ceramic. Hope this helps. Scotty :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Megamo Drilled is the only rim I can think of :huh: Unless you can find a DX32 . . . . You're right, your being picky doesn't help you, does colour really affect your choice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Pretty sure this is for a mod bike... Your only choices other than Koxx and Viz are Onza Ronnie and the DX32/Megamo drilled as you said... Anodising could be removed from a Ronnie though - have a google search for tips on how to do it :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe b Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 I'd see if you can find a silver DX32, theres enough of them around. It would be less hassle and money than buying and de-anodising a ronnie etc... Cheers, Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bionic Balls Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 I'd really reccommend a DX32 (from whoever..onza, megamo etc.)- they last ages!! adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Bleech Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Don't Arrow Racing do a mod rim? Its silver I think! no idea where to get one!! mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its silver I think! no idea where to get one!! mike ← They do but its black with red and white arrows writing. I was considering it for the being different factor and that they are stunninly good rims. Geting hold of them isnt too hard but they are expensive and black. I just wanted a bike that flowed, silver frame and fork into silver hubs and rims, spokes etc... I dont know Ill either get an dx32, ronnie or arrows rim but i had my heart set on echo rims until the hole count became an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hardman Posted February 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 get a viz rim, they are well good. they even do them the same colour as your hair :( ← Im not buying a rim from a company that has put no r and d into a product expects me to pay £35 for it. Anyone willing to get a company to mass produce something based on something in a catalgue can do it and f**k them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheChai Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 i find my viz rims to be better then my try all ones... i can run lower pressure without having to worry abt getting dents... i would think thats how most companies start off anyway... :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicH_87 Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 (edited) i have an old broken megamo rear wheel sat in my garage. not sure on the condition but you can have it cheap if you like. (i'm talking very cheap) heres some picture for the hell of it. I can remove the hub and spokes if you like and it's been used for practicing grinds on the otehr side but its not damaged. yours if you want, i ain't bothered eitherway.

Michael Hardman Posted February 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 Rich Il think it over. Andy dont try and convince me to goViz (If you can get me a pair in silver cheap in the narrow version then Imight be tempted) Arrows or Alex its one of those decsions I blody hate.
