Vineland, NJ United States | I had to replace my tires anyway so I decided to change rims to the new style 2012 rims. I picked up the new rims on Ebay for $225 each. I think it came out pretty good.

| That's a good price, I changed mine out a couple years ago for some customs. Cost a little more though. |

Manchester, CT | Nice wheels! I might be slightly biased - same wheels that come on the 2013 |

Peru, IN | I never paid much attention to any wheels other than what came stock on my '12. Good move changing out to the newer wheel. |

| I have a 2011 with those wheels. I must be the only guy around that likes the earlier wheel more. Not enough to be in the market for a set but maybe down the road.
Enjoy! |

Peru, IN | The newer wheels are more understated which works well for me (which doesn't make any sense since I bought a Vision to begin with). If you're rolling (and you should be), nobody's gonna see anything anyway. If you want a show bike, go buy a Hardley Ableson.

Central Illinois | I am glad that you like your new rims.
Are you ready to sell the old ones? At least in the pictures, I like the old ones better than the 2013 rims that I will get with my bike next week. I would want a clear picture before committing to a price and shipping but those 2008s look nice to me.
If we all liked exactly the same thing, the after market people would quickly go broke.

| Before you get rid of the old rims, how much do they weigh? Did you weigh the 2012 style rims before you mounted the tires? I'm considering a 2013 Vision, and I'm not sure I like the rims. I really like the billet wheels that used to be (still are?) available. However, since changing them would be expensive, I'll need a good excuse. Cutting a significant amount of weight would be a good excuse! |
