rims are the single most expensive mod you can do to a bike next to an engine rebuild. i doubt you would be able to buy a set straight out for under $2k.
you could have a set chromed for about $450-500.
polishing is cheapest....even if you have someone else do it.
powdercoat next...then chrome...then buying a set.I don't have a short temper. I just have a quick reaction to bullshit.

yea im talking changing the stock rims to aftermarket not just polishing them straight out new ones. I dont really like the looks of the stock but oh well they will serve for now until i win the lottery....Life's fast so you have to be faster, ride fast and take risks...

if one can afford them. the reason you want rims and not chrome is you lose a bunch of pounds from the bike. you would be amazed of how the kat handels with the rims and the lost of wieght. but lets be honest it is a kat and unless you will ride the kat the rest of your life then just paint them a nice color.

Why wouldn't anyone looking for aftermarket wheels just shop for a late-model SV650 wheel? They're the exact same thing! Same width, same rotors.....Seems like there's more choice for the SV than the Kat, and it's easy enough to swap stock internals into an aftermarket wheel.....FrankenKat 1216
