FS: Six Spoke Wheels
Both are straight. Front has normal wear, chips and scratches. I just repainted the rear, although it was just with rattle can. Just used a rotor hone on the front rotors so those should be clean and ready to go.
$300 + half of shipping cost.
sprocket carrier is not pictured but will be included. also there is no valve stem in the rear but i will put one in before they sell.

No you can't have them back Jay!
I went ahead, bit the bullet and did the ceramic bearings too. Now, without a swingarm stand or a fork stand I have to figure out how I am going to get it up in the air to change the wheels. Any suggestions? I have a Kendon bike lift and perhaps I could throw a strap over the rafter in my garage.

Man those look sweet.
Bjorn, I found this on a search: https://www.superhawkforum.com/forum...ht=weight+rims I seem to remember a longer post somewhere, though.

I had them done locally here in Ft. Worth. Cost wasn't too bad 125 for both wheels and the cush drive. That included stripping both the wheels with a media blaster and the cush drive. I know the guys were glad to see them go because one of the wheels had an "outgassing" problem which happens sometimes with powdercoating. Seems air or some other gas is produced as the powdercoat is baked to a gel and bubbles out the surface creating holes in the powdercoat. Guys had to strip it three times then redo it finally putting in an additive that creates a longer gel time for the powdercoat which allows it to flow back into the holes before hardening. It took them a week to finish it up since they don't do wheels exclusively and I really didn't want to rush them.
