Default New Super Singles on my 817
I spent a couple days at my dad's putting new wheels & tires (HEMMT Combat rims & Goodyears) on my 817. The closeups are of the rear wheels using the standard lug bolts and nuts. the front I used the budd thimbles & nuts. I just wanted everyone to see how much thread you would have doing it this way.

I don't know what it is, m817's look the best singled out. They just seem meaner then the 818's and 813's.

Looks good. Did you get the thimbles trimmed down so the wheel sits flat against the hub?
