rm125 moto x fox replica

[caps 999]

decided to make a motoxfox replica 125 dont know what colour rims any sugestions 

[cyclegod]

Just my opinion, but BLACK rims look fuggin' awful except on modern bikes when fitted as OEM.

GO FOR GOLD

[Hoony]

i'm with CG, gold is classy in my opinion and black just looks shitful on old bikes.

but at the end of the day its your bike and your call.

[bigk]

Gold is go.

hear! hear!

yep you cant beat the good ol golden excel rims....

[E74]

Ummmm, you can with some period correct gold Sun Rims.... they are even the right colour gold

[LWC82PE]

they (SUN) are what they used on the fox bikes back then. you can get them drilled for drum brake models

With respect, Excel rims don't suit any vintage bike. The rim shape and contour and colours are all wrong and that big whopping Excel sticker on the rims is non period awful. If you want to make a good period replica Fox bike, use Sun rims like E74 suggested.
As far as black rims, I was one of the first to have black rims on my Maico 350 and thought they looked cool when I did it in the early 90s.  Today, I'm a little more sympathetic to period authenticity and I wouldn't think of any other colour than silver or on an evo bike, a subtle gold.

im with firko on this. just altered my previous post to show i was meaning Sun and not excel, just in case that wasnt clear what brand i was talking about

but remember its your choice

Les at Mainly Maico has now his new wheelbuilding maschine , he can now drill any rim you want .You can supply the new rim or he will get one in to suit .

[LWC82PE]

can he drill blank un-dimpled Sun rims?

[E74]

You can buy the rims with buchanan S/S spokes from Vintage Iron, Nil hassal and always gets it right, or you can also get them from Back in the Day MX.

Here are the set I got of Vintage Iron for my YZ465, absolutely neat as!
