Title: Re: 696: just got my new 5 spoke 5.5" rims with a 180 rear!!! Post by: Qfactor on February 02, 2009, 10:00:31 PM it's going to make it less flick-able (ie a litte slower).
on the flip side, you'll be able to run DC3s Q [thumbsup] Title: Re: 696: just got my new 5 spoke 5.5" rims with a 180 rear!!! Post by: Raux on February 02, 2009, 10:37:13 PM those are gorgeous. i like the white stripe too. someone here has there wording on the tire painted white as well, thinking about that.

Title: Re: 696: just got my new 5 spoke 5.5" rims with a 180 rear!!! Post by: mrplease on February 04, 2009, 07:21:44 AM i will def let everyone know how the bike handles with them on...
as for pics you can count on it! here is a pic with the rim stripes. with the rims off the bike the installation of the stripes were a breeze! i got them from pj's parts. they were one continuous stripe with an applicator. in my opinion these are much better than the tape works stripes i had on my old rims. and easier to get perfect (for all you perfectionists like me) (http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh68/mrpleaseplease/monster/IMG_1792.jpg) Title: Re: 696: just got my new 5 spoke 5.5" rims with a 180 rear!!! Post by: semyhr on February 04, 2009, 07:32:16 AM Damn those wheels are nice and I have been telling myself for a while that I don't need them because three spokes look cool too ;D [thumbsup]
Title: Re: 696: just got my new 5 spoke 5.5" rims with a 180 rear!!! Post by: desmoworks on February 04, 2009, 05:39:58 PM Looking really good! Can't wait to see the finished product [thumbsup]

Post by: mrplease on February 05, 2009, 10:37:28 AM Nice..how much are they...???with the rubber? $1450 with the tires. but i have the old rims and tires sold for $650, so its not too bad Title: Re: 696: just got my new 5 spoke 5.5" rims with a 180 rear!!! Post by: causeofkaos on February 06, 2009, 10:45:06 AM those wheels are gorgeous cant wait to see installed pics.
i always thought with bigass rotors up front and the DSS would hide too much of the wheels cant wait to see it [thumbsup] Title: Re: 696: just got my new 5 spoke 5.5" rims with a 180 rear!!! Post by: Raux on February 08, 2009, 09:42:30 AM hey. MrPlease.
i'm jacking your thread for a min. need to know about the termi DP kits. does it come with a K&N filter AND a modifiied airbox or just the filter? i got a thread in tech about free flow filters that i need your input on. Title: Re: 696: just got my new 5 spoke 5.5" rims with a 180 rear!!! Post by: Holden on February 08, 2009, 09:48:27 AM oh, and it's the weekend, so let's see some [mounted] wheels! ;D
Title: Re: 696: just got my new 5 spoke 5.5" rims with a 180 rear!!! Post by: mrplease on February 08, 2009, 04:14:16 PM hey. MrPlease. i'm jacking your thread for a min. need to know about the termi DP kits. does it come with a K&N filter AND a modifiied airbox or just the filter? i got a thread in tech about free flow filters that i need your input on. man i didn't even look inside the box. i just took it to the dealer and had them install it. what i had left after installation was cans, stock ecu, and air filter. so i guess it did come with an ecu and air filter. Title: Re: 696: just got my new 5 spoke 5.5" rims with a 180 rear!!! Post by: mrplease on February 08, 2009, 04:39:06 PM ok i promised pics so here are the pics...
problem is these pics suck. its been raining all day and couldn't get the bike out of the garage. once it clears up and gets sunny i will get the bike out and take better pics.

Post by: Sleeper_I on February 08, 2009, 04:40:25 PM I got mine a few days ago. It's just the slip ons, ecu, and the air filter, no mod airbox.
Title: Re: 696: just got my new 5 spoke 5.5" rims with a 180 rear!!! Post by: Sleeper_I on February 08, 2009, 04:42:05 PM holy moly, the tires looks beefy from the pics. [thumbsup] Let us know how it handles when you get a chance
Title: Re: 696: just got my new 5 spoke 5.5" rims with a 180 rear!!! Post by: mrplease on February 08, 2009, 04:43:53 PM ok, as for the ride. i only rode it about 30 miles yesterday after the install. as for the difference there wasn't much. the only thing i can say is the bike felt more stable. the "flickability" was still there. i will give a more detailed review when i get more time on the new rims...
Title: Re: 696: just got my new 5 spoke 5.5" rims with a 180 rear!!! Post by: Holden on February 08, 2009, 04:50:49 PM looking good! interested in seeing a closeup of the gap between the tire and the chain/splatter guard when the sun comes out.
Title: Re: 696: just got my new 5 spoke 5.5" rims with a 180 rear!!! Post by: hcomp on February 08, 2009, 08:47:18 PM Did you go with the larger profile front tire? aka the 1100 size?
Title: Re: 696: just got my new 5 spoke 5.5" rims with a 180 rear!!! Post by: mrplease on February 08, 2009, 08:52:28 PM no i went with a 120/65/17
thats right in between the two... oh and i wanted to add that these wheels and tires are lighter than the stock ones... Title: Re: 696: just got my new 5 spoke 5.5" rims with a 180 rear!!! Post by: mrplease on February 08, 2009, 08:54:15 PM oh and ryan: i wanted to let you know that when i took the bike to the ducati dealership i had them check the coil wire issue and they were correct! they weren't backwards...
Title: Re: 696: just got my new 5 spoke 5.5" rims with a 180 rear!!! Post by: hcomp on February 08, 2009, 10:03:58 PM Like the way the front tire looks (and the back one too!) Glad you didn't have the coil issue. I wonder why your bike was running rich though? Oh well the good news is you will be running open loop all the time with the DP ECU!
Title: Re: 696: just got my new 5 spoke 5.5" rims with a 180 rear!!! Post by: w7ck7d on February 08, 2009, 11:19:58 PM Look awesome man...Beefyer than the stock tires...
