Title: Wheel builders.......
Post by: MCTID on September 30, 2015, 12:05:07 AM: Can anyone recommend a good wheel builder.......chrome rims, stainless spokes for my CB750K4?

I have used CWS in the past but just want to see if there are any others who Forum members have used.

Preferably in the North West but happy to post in UK.

Thanks........

Wylde's of Leeds do a great job, they build all sorts including specials for films as well as standard wheels, friendly and helpful too!

I have 8->10 wheels to do in the next month or so. Probably have a go myself but 'just in case'
