viva changes Supermoto Wheels
The rear wheel is going to take some fitting .I'm hoping to make an easy install ,so i can swap back to the 18 and 21 inch wheels easily . Front wheel was a direct swap 2.50 x 17 with 110/70-17 and rear wheel 3.50 x 17 with 130/70-17 these wheels came on a slow boat from china http://zewan.en.alibaba.com/product/...sotherproduct1 They do not normally sell parts

Nice find on the 17-inch wheels, Racer! How in the world did you ever find a 17-inch wheel fitted to the Zong/Viva front hub?

It looks good. The black is a nice detail.

Since this company doesn't ordinarily sell parts, how did you convince them to ship you the wheels? Also, did you have problems communicating with them? :?:

That's a fascinating, wonderful reply, Racer. I'm glad I asked the question.

I can appreciate the effort you put in to get the wheels. After all, was it worth the cost?

Did you conduct your correspondence via email, or typing during live "chats" over the internet? I have sent emails to vendors on alibaba, but I don't know how, or where I could encounter them to engage in a "real time," interactive conversation.

Your new wheels look great! The mock up installation of the rear wheel seems to be progressing well. Spud

Were the wheels delivered to you, or did you need to pick them up at the port? Did you need to pay import fees, taxes, et cetera? How difficult was the process of actually getting the wheels in your posession?
