looking for advise on fitting "flash" looking rims on a wire wheel model Kawasaki KR150.
Im looking for a bike for another fresh biker m8 of mine who is caught up in looks.... the only thing holding them back from being keen on the wee kr is the wire wheels.
I know the spoked wheels are lighter and prolly better performance wise, but it comes down to looks in this case unfortunatly.

SO,
anyone have advise on how to get around this?
Can "mags" be bought to fit these bikes?
Has anyone heard of RG150 wheels being used on KR150s?


Thanks in advance,
Allan.

kr's over all were rare to nz, they were to expensive compared to the rg150 and later rgv150 of the suzuki, so didn't get the same uptake.

So you might get lucky and fit something, maybe even the rg150 wheels will fit, but would be matter of finding if you can 'borrow' some to see if could fit,

Hmm, I think the sp model (ie non-Krr(zx) with spokes) had a 18inch rear doesnt' it? In which case the krr wouldn't fit being only 17.
