Z Rims or Skyways? DP Freestyler

(1/4) > >>

punkdSICO:
Hi all - I know its personal choice but:  Not sure if I should put my black Skyways onto my new DP.  The Skyways are in fabbo condition and they have the flanged hubs that I prefer.  This is my new bike:



and these are the Skyways (picture does not do them justice - they really are in A1 condition):



As a kid I hated Z Rims so that is pretty much my driver.  Plus, by selling the Zs I will bring down the cost of my new bike which cost me £650 :( and I want it to be a rider, not museum bike..

Also, will Skyways increase the weight much?  Im going to swap the wheels over at the weekend and ill weight before/after.  Until then I cant ride my new bike as I dont want to spoil the Zs rim graphics before/if I decide to sell them..

Obviously Iwont put the ugly tires on the new bike!!

thoughts?

I prefer the Z's myself but I like the look of Spokes on a bike :daumenhoch:

Robbo:
Tuffs, once the font on the zed's starts wearing it will look untidy.  ;)

TORKER mick:
dobs on the z if you get tuffs   :daumenhoch:

just chipping in, and clearly Im bias, but feck is the DP Firebird a sexy mofo!  As a kid, all I dreamt about was a Haro Freestyler - had not even heard of DP.  But now, I think the DP is far sexier.  It has all the haro qualities that I loved but, the lower profile just makes me want to rape it (in a romantic kind of rape-way)..

..back to the Z v Skyways discuss..
