Modern Vespa

Well, I sold my Super wheels, so here are the pics of what I have now. I think they look AWESOME ! ALL BLACK ! What do you think?

oh! I am in love!

Looks good, so thats why you didnt answer why you were selling them.

I want a set but chromed.

That looks killer. I think they would look good in a smoke chrome also. Hmmm

Or the new Jettin.coms black chrome.

Fabulous.

Whitewall tyres to set 'em off ?

Or are whitewalls a No No ?

The white walls arent great for freeway riding with rain grooves, which we have in Cali but they look great. White walls are an individuals choice, there are no rules stating you cant or should mont them.

they look great as they are. for god's sake resist the urge to chrome

I like them too.. not sure i'd chrome them.

What brand are they and is the rear the same size as stock ?

I think they look great as is! No chrome or whitewalll.

vezpa, they look great, man. good look. next is the exhaust?

Sweet!

MP3 Wheels? Looks good.

MP3 500 wheels..

Yes, Looks way cool, do not chrome and yes they look just like MP3 500 rims.

Thanks for the compliments, responses and feedback. They are Mp3 500 front wheels and a direct bolt on. I'm still utilizing my original Pirelli tires.

The rims won't be chromed. It isn't the look I am going for and I don't like the way chrome wheels look on a white bike. If it were black or another dark color I may think about it.

These rims speak for themselves. I have trimmed out my white bike with black and the rims flow with that theme.

Whitewalls will NEVER be on this bike no matter what color or style wheels I have. I didn't buy a Super and trick it out in Adidas theme to put whitewall tires on it. It's not a Ratrod or old school theme bike.

An exhaust will be the next step but that won't be until spring. The only exhaust I like is the Giannelli pictured below. That will be the exhaust going on my bike.

Looking good VEZPA! I'm liking the new shoes! You have really done a beautiful job on the Adidas Scoot!

(Did you sell your Super Wheels?)

This is black chrome from Jettin

Very nice. Are those standard GTS wheels that have been modified with cut outs and a hub cap?

That scoot is looking better everyday, good choice

Yes it is. Nyles at Jettin is prob the jessie james of scooters.

I like chrome a lot but black chrome or charcoal chrome to me looks like chrome that someone hasn't cleaned. Black chrome wheels look like wheels that are dirty with brake dust. If I didn't chrome I would powder coat. All the black chrome does it hold back the shine. To me what is chrome without extreme shine? I want my chrome to be like a mirror, something I could look at to brush my teeth.

Excatly... I feel same thing

The rims look great...... Your scoot is coming along...... You know, I'll have to add something new to my scoot now.

Thanks

I know you will.

It's OK. I still have a few more tricks up my sleeve. Adidas is in my basement now so fabrication season has begun.

PERFECT!!!!!!

Nice wheels. Really set off the bike and give it a little more oomph than the stock wheels. I don't think chrome of any shade would look right on your bike. The two color theme is definitely the way to go. Good job

As for black or shadow chrome, my husband's car has it. I like it, because it does hide the brake dust

Am I crazy...I like the look of the factory wheels better...don't get me wrong...I like the MP3 wheels...just too many spokes for me...and I like the flat black finish on the factory Super wheels (although some came in with shiny black too....I think the Super250's did)....the wheels look nice on the scoot and of course different looking but I like the way the factory wheels have the black and the silver color offsetting the outer edge...I wouldn't chrome the MP3 wheels either...not the look for your bike. I must say it does make your bike look unique...always wondered with so many Vespa's out there, why is no company making aftermarket wheels for Vespa's? Seems like a great market to me.

The SUPER wheels are nice but played out. This summer everyone will have a Super and the same wheels. Gotta be different.

Well if you have to be different try an engine change to compliment the new wheels...

I guess that would make a statement

That will be my VBB next Spring !

Imagine how I feel...I only have a 2007 GTS with stock wheels....like I posted before...WHY DOESN'T SOME COMPANY COME OUT WITH CUSTOME WHEELS FOR SCOOTERS (MOSTLY VESPA AND PIAGGIO'S)? It seems like there is a market for this....can't be too outrageiously priced as there is only two wheels to buy...any thoughts????

Limited market, probably why there's no Tucano Urbano access here either....

We GTS riders have basically 5 stock wheel choices. These are off the shelf choices, not customized.


Mp3 -Gray
Mp3 -Black

GT, GTS -Gray
GTV -Chrome
GTS- Super

is there a reason you like the Giannelli over the Leo Vince kit? Is it purely a looks thing or is the Giannelli better performance or sound wise?

thx.

To me the Leo looks big & ugly as sin and many have had issues with it. Looks like something fired from a WWII German U-Boat. I'm not saying it's a bad pipe I just really like the Giannelli.

See the following thread.
