| All Right, Track Wheels for the MV Well, unless the seller screws me, I just won some track wheels for the MV.
Not bling bling Marchesinis, but half the price. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=4625446891 |

| Re: All Right, Track Wheels for the MV Yeah, I like the color too. We'll see how they look.
Ironically, the seller bought an SPR and decided he'd rather have silver.
I think I'll have the front stock one blasted and x-rayed to see if I should be worried or not...but what I was really after was the ability to mount up some track dedicated rubber, and still have street stuff.

| Re: All Right, Track Wheels for the MV Think the stock one would work on a VFR? |

MV's are like Ducs, large single nut, pin drive.

| Re: All Right, Track Wheels for the MV I wouldn't buy them. One wheel had a scrach on it.

Now just an Ohlins shock and Ti exhaust to plunder and I'm done.  |

Absolutely no idea. The only thing I know for sure is that we'll be driving to UT to see family first. And we're going to stop at Mt Rushmore this time too. |
