I do like those black wheels on the Paul Smart - what do you think ? DUCATI PAUL SMART 1000 LE | eBay
I think the OE spoked wheels look so much better, just get the rims coated if you cant find a spare set from the S or afford the aftermarket wire wheels.
Agree the black rims on the S model look better than the silver. I just think those 999 wheels on that Paul Smart make it look much more aggressive, completely transforms it, jmo. Good to see he's kept the original wheels and parts. I sold my standard wheels from my S years ago, in hindsight not one of my better decisions but the money funded a lot of other parts.
Wow!, you actually sold rocking horse poo!:Facepalm: Doubt you'll now find another set and probably be cheaper buying Kineo's, FaBa's or Alpina's in any case, which will give you the tubeless option.:smile: I've kept every OE part in the garage, including the side panels which I dont really use as getting them again would be nigh on impossible.
I nearly bought a pair of black S wheels with tyres last year for £500. Money was tight though so I passed on them. Regretted it ever since!
I bought my GT1000 when it was 2 years old, the first owner had managed to snag a pair of alloy rim wheels to replace the corroded original chrome steel rims. I still have the alloy rim wheels & all other original parts, although the bike has been running 5-spoke Marchesini wheels for some years now.
