I just bought a set of these... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Buell-Performance-M achine-Slotted-Front-and-Rear-Wheel-_W0QQcmdZViewI temQQitemZ230514092948QQptZMotorcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fA ccessories It seems like a decent price for new in the box. They have a few more left if anyone is interested. | ||

They must want to move them at that price. | ||

That's even the nicer looking old style. I guess the pitted ones I thought I'd try to salvage aren't worth it, anymore. Heck, it's barely worth polishing my good ones at that price! | ||
| Jim_d |
I almost bought a set a few days ago at $499....mainly because I've really been wanting a set and they're brand new. I'm glad I held out for a few days, though. | ||

I've bought a few things from these guys while i've been putting my S1W together. They're good folks. I think they're trying to get rid of all the buell parts they have on the shelves in the back since harley ended their support of buell. | ||

StPaul HD is who bought out the factory parts. They also routinely buy out other dealers stock. Even at that price a nice profit is being made. | ||

I got mine on ebay, But they came from Stpaul also. this is now my "new" second set. The ones on the bike are going in for a re-polish I got a full set of the solid style pm wheels for $300.00 and they already had wheel bearings installed also! I just got a new Michelin power pure tire and i am going to put it on the pm wheel. I need a new pulley while i am at it.......Oh and a new belt! | ||

Thanks for the tip....A+ | ||

I have purchased a set of wheels, exhaust headers, fork legs and a bunch of other small parts from them. They are top notch and all the stuff is brand new in the box. | ||
| Jerrys2 |
Just bought a set myself for the S-2 | ||
| Bpt |
I bought a new seat for my S3T last week from them and a set of wheels today. I think I will stop trying to polish out my pitted wheels. | ||
| Beachbuell |
I SO want to grab a set of them wheels just to have as spare......................... Must stop looking at them. Must stop looking at them. | ||
| 5liter |
Beachbuell: I have the same problem. Must remain strong....  | ||
| Ratbuell |
Damn. My S2 would look NICE with a set of those on it.... grrrrr....... | ||

That's a great price, thankfully mine are in decent shape so I am not too tempted. For those of you who don't have them, you know you will regret not buying at this price - what difference will having spent $300 make one year from now? Just do it! ![: ]](http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/clipart/proud.gif) | ||

I'm trying to talk myself out of buying another set just to keep as spares... | ||
| Scott_in_nh |
I'm trying to talk myself out of buying another set just to keep as spares... buy some nice adjustable levers, cool mirrors or high quality LED turn signals instead! Oh - and don't crash or hit that monster pot hole and you won't need them  | ||
| Jim_d |
I just put my led turn signals on last night....k&s industries. The bike came with some pretty nice bar end mirrors. A big bore kit on the other hand...I've been eye balling one of those. | ||
| Purpony |
so thats $299 for both front AND rear??? did i read that correct? | ||
| Brinnutz |
Yes. 40% off sale! | ||
| Jim_d |
I got mine today. Man, are they sweet! I'm stoked to get them put on. | ||
| Bpt |
Mine arrived today. They are so nice I hate to put them on and dirty them. | ||
| Preybird1 |
my new set is still sitting in bags. I couldn't bare to put them on they are so shiny!!  | ||
| Easy_rider |
I just took a look..... They jacked the price up to $500. I thought the 40% math was a little off, earlier.... | ||
| Purpony |
mine should be here thursday. To bad they wont fit my bike... i just bought them so they can sit in the boxes... haha | ||
| Koz5150 |
PM's look nice when they are on, but they are a PAIN to keep clean. So make sure you take a picture with them all shiney so you can look at it when your bike is all dirty from riding.  | ||
| Tbolt98 |
I was soo close to ordering... before they went to $500! They must have realized it was a steal. | ||
| Purpony |
They were $500 marked down to $299 only for a couple days and were planning on putting them back to $500. Thats why i ordered them at $299 | ||
| Fireball7709 |
Has anyone ever tried clear coating them? They are a pain to keep clean! | ||
| Scott_in_nh |
My PM's are 11 years old, and while they are not perfect, I do not consider them hard to take care of or keep clean. I use metal polish on them about once a season, and otherwise just clean them when I am cleaning the rest of the bike with anything from orange cleaner, detail spray, or my newest find, a stainless steel polish that we use at work. it is like Pledge for metal, it has a wax in it so it cleans and shines them, but you need to keep it off the brake rotors - ask me how I know! | ||

someone here has had a set clear powder coated, can't remember who??? | ||

someone here has had a set clear powder coated, can't remember who??? That would be Oldog. And I'm sure he would NOT recommend that you do likewise. Hopefully he'll chime in, but I remember him telling tales of woe about how the clearcoat has cracked and made the rims look worse now than they did before. HTH, 1313 | ||
| Purpony |
You could get them powdercoated clear. There are a could different types of clear powder, not sure which one would be best and hopefully prevent cracking. He could have them chemically striped, do a quick re-polish and have them done again or use a clear like eastwoods diamond clear http://www.eastwood.com/ew-extreme-diamond-clear-8 -oz.html or Zoop http://zoopseal.com/ or something along those lines. All or most OEM automotive wheels are clearcoated and most dont crack. If i ever go back to a tuber front end and put the PM wheels on my bike, ill probably have them black anodized.... | ||

Olddog had his clear coated and water got in between the paint and wheels and made them look like $hit. |
