What wheels do you like. What look do you want to achieve?

Can't go wrong with RS 7 spokes or Compo MO's though

RS7's would be nice on it, reckon an 18'' Kahn 5 spoke would look the best!

If you want RS 7 spokes Butch, remember that if you want to fit big brakes in the future they will never fit

Better off with a set of Comps's in Anthracite

And Paul has had probably every conceivable set of 17s available for a saff
I think RL7's look the nuts but couldn't bring myself to spend that sort of money on some rims for the old girl!!
