Anyone know who makes these wheels?

Perdition

I just wanna go fast!
The bike is the Triumph Speed Twin by Rod and Tod Design but I can't seem to find any information on the wheels. Any help?

Cheers,
Trevor

Those are pretty!

The only snowflake wheels I'm seeing with a 2 minute Google search are for BMW. That would be hard to make chain drive...
 
They are Performance Machine Paramounts

(only) 7 Spoke (just envision them in all black)

Thank you all for your replies. I'm hoping to find the same set in the picture (and hopefully they don't cost more than my bike is worth!)

maybe Carrozzeria...

I at first thought this as well but no luck yet.

Not exact but very close, Performance Machine Heathen.

I have seen these in my search but they're not quite it.

Look at Ducati wheels

Will do.
 
I know who makes them, just can't recall name at present ::)
They are not PM wheels, the spokes are 'Y' shaped
I like the girder forks, bought a 6' piece of alloy to make some to my own design sometime ;)

I like the girder forks, too! Don't see those too often. Let me know if you think of the manufacturer.
 
The 2012 Duc has similar but 5 spoke, probably off earier model or one of the alternative Ducs?

I think they are 2006~2008 Duc, one of the 'Superbikes' 1098 or similar.
They could be the 'race' wheels which have thinner spokes if I recall correctly
I should have rememberd sooner, friend had one ::)
It's a Duc 999, probably get a used set relatively cheap (but still more than your bike cost ;) )

Seem to go for around $300~400 each for the 'common' 5 spoke

BTW, you can see in eBay link, they are Marchesini
You probably don't want a new one :eek:

It's a race only wheel gives a list of the bikes it fits if you scroll down.
Original price, $2,500 :eek:
Just realised why it looks so different, it has two front wheels and not a cush drive rear

Wheels always look better without brakes.
Kinda like binning the signals, but a bit more dangerous.
 
It's not going anywhere, display only, don't see a final drive (chain/sprocket)
 
Plus it's mostly made of clay. It's a pair of industrial design students' proof of concept model...I think they made the wheels as well.
 
Clay and photoshop LOL ;D
Not sure why they have flat track tyres on a cafe bike?
The more I look at it, the weirder it gets :eek: ::) 8)

There are a lot of contradictions in the design.
Like the Springer front end too.

Does a custom bike have to have specific design elements now?

That's not a custom bike, it's an art studio work
A custom bike can be ridden (however dangerous/uncomfortable it is)
