shercool Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 There's a firm in T&MX who do wheel rims, called Candy Wheels, a lad in my area has just had his rims done gold on his '05 PRO, they look really good, was thinking about getting mine done in blue, but i'm to clumsy and would probably scratch hell out of them in one trial !!

landrover Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 my son had his wheels anodised last year from candy wheels, nice job ,before you get them done see what your spoke nipples and spokes are like, if rusty you'll need to replace them. we sent them to him because at the time he could not supply them, he will polish the hubs ( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colly Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 i no there is a guide on the sherco site, i know yours is a gg, but they say to soften power, retard timing abit, send it to west coast customs, pimp my ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine are from candy wheels and he has made a awesome job, no spokes have come loose. He's a top guy!!! Guess you'll have seen the results Dan? we drew!!!!!! ahh. They split us into classes so we'll never know who actually won. Blowers... get yours done blue that would look awesome!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastplacebrad Posted January 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 YEAH GREAT THANKS ?. Heath , do you have the trialstar graphics on your bike or a mates , if so can you post a piccy please , its not really that clear on their site where the seat graphics go , because like you i fancy a colour change but graphics could be a cost effective option .i'm not that hot on the wheel job, i have something else in mind which would alter the look but i'm keeping tight lipped bout that for now , cheers .
