Just cruising through the Pit Bits.....All Suzuki's should be running gold wheels, no excuses. The JGR bikes look great....and the HEP bikes, while looking swell, could really benefit by going the gold route.



End of my lunch time rant.

I can't believe what I'm reading...

Finally a positive thread and comment about JGR and Suzuki.


They do look great!

I support this 100%. I also really enjoyed gold wheels on Hondas as well. I don't know if that's taboo around here, but I'm curious as to why we don't see more builds like that.

Yessir he did. OEM hubs turned down finished off with their black "mag" coating. He did a great job.

Gold wheels have always been trick on Suzuki's.

The JGR bikes look so nice this year, one of their best looks yet. I know this is a Suzuki thread, but gold rims look badass on just about anything. I miss gold rims on 2 stroke works bikes.

As sad as it is, the timeless looking setup this year makes me wonder if there was ever a conversation had that went along the lines of "these might be the last factory backed RMZ's to ever race a supercross season, we'd better make these things look really badass"

I agree. I liked them on my 125....but they still look fantastic on Zuk's.

Suzukis should all come with yellow rims from the factory. Not gold, yellow.

And you say that based off what?
My rims are 14 years old now, might be something wrong with my eyes but they still seem quite yellow to me...

I agree and here’s mine from down under..stripped and re ano’d talons in mag, bulldog spokes. Also had the applied clamps stripped and done in mag (only because the crappy applied clear ano corroded within weeks😡)



*not sure why pics are sideways??

I'm all team green but I have to admit, those bikes do look pretty killer with the gold rims.

I know it's not a big difference but I like the gold much more than the yellow on the zooks.
