Smoothie
The "Smooth 9s" from RMD Billet integrate a classic spoke style with that raw industrial look you didn't even know you were looking for-until you saw it. These three-part masterpieces were designed to give just another smooth wheel the raw edge that separates it from the typical. Contrasting the smoothly machined contours with the hard edge of 40 industrial-grade bolts gives you an R-rated wheel that the general public hasn't figured out whether to love or hate. Machined and assembled from individual pieces of 6061-billet aircraft-grade aluminum, these rollers are polished, chromed, or powdercoated and are locked together with 12-point chrome-plated bolts. All hubs are assembled with sealed bearings and are manufactured for drive-side or sprocket/brake setups only.For more information, contact RMD Billet, (507) 348-8877, www.rmdbillet.com.
Monster Mash
Monster bikes need to be balanced on monster wheels, not average-sized tires that would give them a bound-feet look. Exile Cycle offers a wide range of spoke wheels, including the Monster, which features a 15x7 aluminum rim, huge ?-inch stainless spokes, a wide billet hub, and the massive 230-Series tire from Avon. Also available are a 16x7 version for the Metzeler 240-Series tire and a handful of other rear/front wheel combinations to help you achieve that tough, beefy look! The wheels are supplied show-polished but may be purchased in a black-anodized or powdercoat finish as well. Each comes complete with a tire and features fully sealed bearings for zero maintenance.For more information, contact Exile Cycles, (818) 255-3330, www.exilecycles.com.
