Warp 9 rims

Killerbracing · 04-25-2014, 11:20 PM

Really trying to keep this project on budget, but for $324 I can have a pair of Warp 9 supermoto hoops shipped to my door.

So, do I do my 18's that I have or order the warp 9 17" rims?

I have built at least three wheels with Warp9 rims; I like them.

The Warp9 complete wheels are an excellent value.

What's the price difference between your two options?

If you have 18's on hand, I'd use 'em.

$324 vs free.

I'm leaning towards that route, but the tire charts are confusing me. I have a 2.15x18 rear rim I can put up front and and a 2.5x18 D.I.D rim I can put on the rear.

How wide of a tire can I get on these without pinching the tread?

Check the manufacturer's tire fitment chart for the tire you are considering.

The fitment chart will tell you the tire size which fits a particular rim. What tires are you considering?

That's what I'm trying to figure out. Best bang for the buck. These bikes don't go that fast, but I want a good back highway tire. I can't get a straight answer from anyone.

I don't buy street tires, so I can't help you. When you get an idea what you might want to purchase, I will help you find the correct fitment chart.
