Shamrock style wheels? - Page 2

So I guess the weight saved in the center just got relocated to the lip? Hopefully not, I have blues up front but mounted on some Mohawks.

Hard to say. If you're willing to pull a tire off one and weigh it we can compare

Sorry to threadjack, but I saw in your pic that you've got a bunch of the bikemaster batteries at work. Whats your take on them? I just got one and i'm hoping I made the right investment over the stock battery.

I am running one of the Trugel batteries in my z. I love it! Its actually the battery we stock. They have a 2 year warranty, come ready to go, so no filling or charging. I know in my Z it cranks fast and with the gel acid, they are said to last twice as long as the conventional battery if maintained i.e. putting a tender on if it's going to sit for a while.

I put one in mine in April and even when my battery box broke and the battery fell out it was fine. Right now with my quad apart I have it sitting in the original box with a Noco genius charger on it (another item we just started selling).

So my take is they are awesome, Bikemaster is also great at covering warranty issues. The only thing that may be better is the Ballistic batteries, but for our machines they start at $100.

Lol! I sold my old haulers with the rims mounted. Never the less I think i'm gona go with those shamrock rims for the rears, I like the look and hopefully it's just as light as the standard blue's.

The price is great on them. these will probably be temporary until I get a champion in a box kit.

Ok so here it is. I took one of the wheels and measured it on our postal scale at work.

It weighed in at 3lb 1.1oz in case you can't read the scale.

And no that is not product placement with the battery. The scale just happens to be on our quick battery charging station back in the parts department.

They are suposed to be the lightest wheel on the market, I see some coming my way soon.

They do feel much lighter compared to the Black Labels I have and the stock Suzuki wheels. I should weigh them for comparison
