I want to buy spoke wheels for my Rocker. I found nice wheels here advertised as wheels for HD but the seller told me that these do not fit Rocker. Below is his answer. Is there anything i can do to adjust wheel or bike? I mean, i am from Europe and not easy to find some wheels for reasonable price and shipping from U.S. is just very high..... These wheels looks nice.

The answer
"Because the Ball bearings are only 1" and yours are more than 1" if you are a good mechanic, you can these rims mounting but i dont know you."

 

the wheel axle on a rocker is 25mm. two possible solutions change axle or bearings if you change bearings a couple more issues the width of the bearing could be different requiring adjusting the crush tube in the wheel.. the hub of the wheel could be of different size requiring modification of the spacing. as you can many variables when dealing with wheels.. good luck..

 

I would try to find a local Indy and talk to them about doing it. If they feel confident they can make it work I would go that route.

Sux that shipping is so high. There are several wheel places here in the States that have an exact fit. The spoke wheels I got from HDWheel.com fit perfect on my Rock.

 

I can get you spokes for your rocker and ship them to you. I carry Ride Wright, DNA and other brands. I recommend the Ride Wrights. We can get them Powder Coated and way you like in 40, 60, or 80 spokes. Drop me a PM and I'll get you pricing.

 

fitting problem solved ( i will not buy that wheels) but now i have problem to decide which wheels to buy. After some selection i ended up with 2 possible solutions.

1. Fat spokes
I am thinking to make chrome rim / black spokes or black rim with thin red line around (like Nightrod) and chrome spokes or full black with chrome niples only and that red line

1. RC components - Czar wheels chrome

Some pictures for reference and i would appreciate for your opinion guys.

I have standard Rocker C Vivid black but want to put it in black matt foil now and will put Heartland kit also. So basically black matt paint, rest chrome......

 

i vote for the fat spokes man. those would look bad *** on the rocker

 

thanks man, and which color combo you would prefer ?

I am also more for the spokes but i am realy not sure about the color and fact if they will finally look good on Rocker with Heartland kit. Not many Rockers with them... For this reason i am thinking also about the Czars, becaue, they will look good definitely, just will be too ordinary......

 

I vote for the hot girl!

 

do the full black, chrome nipples and the red line. that would give you some pretty sweet contrast

 

You guys have same taste as me I also like the full black with red line and chrome niples. I am pretty sure these wheels will look awesome on some full black bike. But what do you think about mine even i will change it into matt black (tank, fenders only)? I am afraid it will not fit with the chrome stuff .....
