Streetbeat wheel help? Sumo wheels anyone?

(1/3) > >>

muff76:
Just got my raw Street beat frame from the US looking for something a bit different  other than Tuff 2's for the wheels... seen these on E Bay and was wondering  if anyone had any dealings with the wheels? Bike aint be thrashed so not overly worried about the strength? Really just gonna be used from cruising the streets, may pop an endo now and then but that will be about it.

I ran Sumo's on my beat mate and they were as sweet as mate! i'm nearly 16 stone and pulled a few kickturns and small airial type thingies and the wheels were fine.....even ran round MK with em last year as well......they may be cheaper than arayas but they're just as strong.

what colour are you doing the beat mate?

rarman1:
i like those they look sweet, go for em :daumenhoch:

and dont forget pics when your done :knuppel2:

I am thinking of doing it kinda low key white, white EZ bars with blue anodized bits and bobs, renthal layback etc, but as I think about it I dont really know so many colours out there...deffo gonna get me some sumo's then build the bike around the wheels I think... also thinking of doing it black and gold but I tend to think of racing bikes(rippers) look better with this treatment...and what bars would go with that?

Could go complete 80's freestyle and just go nuts with the pastel colours I reckon I am big enough to carry this off even in brighton.

Pea's

I will post some pics as and when I finally get it done....

Anyone else wanna give me suggestions feel free....

pickle:
the black and gold sounds great! never seen a beat in those colours........but i'm sure whatever colour you do it in mate you'll love how it rides.....i love mine!  :smitten:
