REPLICA VOLAN ALLOYS???
Hi,
I stumbled across a set of replica Volans and wondered if anyone knows of a retailer that offers these within the UK? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1827765887 |

REPLICA ALLOYS - beware
As other posters have ruefully discovered, all alloys are not created equal.
Some inexpensive and replica wheels are made from a softer alloy that will bend far too easily, resulting in either expensive repair or even more expensive replacement. The safety aspects of a bendy alloy for the hard-charging 850R owner are too horrendous to contemplate. The best way to get Volans at less than the £300+ a dealer will ask is check out the club web site for secondhand real deals. |
