Hi, there, been looking but im not finding; is there an ideal place where to buy new wheels.

my bike is a cbr125r,
im riding on 17s, and would like new coloured wheels,
bit bored of the black standard wheels with red tape

any idea of how much im looking at ?

get yours powdercoated

I'd go the powder coating route, otherwise have a goosey gander on egay. Or try bikeforumes.net and the specific one for the CBR125

i think speedy has some cbr 125 wheels..

Save your money mate and put it towards upgrading to a bigger bike as soon as you can !

ive already passed my test,
and occasionally ride my brothers sv650(restricted), its just where i live and what i do, being a student, that the cbr125 seems to be a pratical bike, plus insurance for a bigger bike is expensive for my age (17).

hense why im considering spending money on it.

just curious about powdercoating, where can i get it done from (torbay region)?

cheers!

Get out your yellow pages or use google

I had a CBR 125. i would sugest saving up and upgrading to a bandit 6 or something. I wouldn't recomend a CBR 125 to anyone. the wheels tires and brakes arn't proportioned right which can make the front unpredictable in the wet. Mine actual nearly got me killed.

i beleive that first line or front line in exeter are pretty good as thats who the trade use

Rubbish Andy.

Ask Dave or Boo what I could do with theirs when I was in Exeter last.

Deej... He ain't got Fleas...

If you are looking for the budget option there's always good old "smoothrite" rattle cans

Oh, and the leading flea repellant powdercoaters Deej is referring to is 1st Choice

theres a guy in exeter who i was recommended to via the site, cant remember his name, im sure someone will know who i mean. I think he said £30 a wheel, might have even been £25. I remember thinking it was impressively cheap
