Any opinions on choosing between the Dymag set and the Exactrep 17" rear
rim?
I mostly want to improve handing, tire wear, and looks.
I really like the Dymags, but if the Exactrep rim can offer the same options
I would get it instead.
Also - tire recommendations for these rims - brand, size, etc.
Anyone get their swingarm widened to fit a bigger tire? How can I get this
done (safely?)
Thanks guys!
