Ey up mate, how ya goin?
Looked at Central Wheels, but they're nearly 70 quid each in bare steel, which gave my inner Yorkshireman a nasty fright!
Will just have to bite the bullet if I can't find any S/H ones, though.
Still collecting bits at the mo, gonna start mocking up a rolling chassis soon, but I can't decide if I like 16s front and rear, or the more usual 21/16 combo.
Got a '48 longstroke engine off Barnsley Shaun, and have collected around 75% of the bits to rebuild it, so progress is being made, slowly.
Don't know what they're worth now but Central Whls also do the Morad alloys in 16". I'm running 2.5x16" front and rear in the tourismo cross style because they're strong. But I'm also running 3.5x16 dunlop sidecar racing tyres and have shortened my fork springs.
I also understand sunbeam S7 rims are a 3x16. Harleys use 3.5x16
with 2nd hand rims watch out for rust!
16's do drop the bike right down unless your planning to compensate via extended forks. An advantage of a 16 front would be its easier to brace the stanchions, which beesa forks would appreciate if extended. I run a fork brace and the stock legs take quite a lot of abuse from the twisting chairs dish out.
