Thanks for posting the pics, fc, Alex.

I really like these wheels.

But my wife thinks my Twists look better....

Who wears the pants in that family?

Well for now, I'll refinish my spare Cup IIs to a dark silver. But pricing on those Fuchs wheels is incredible; lets hope it doesn't increase on the boat ride over.

Well all you have to do is disable the brakes on the driver's side so that when you slam on the brakes, the spokes on the passenger side will flip direction and line up with the driver's side.

Heading out to try this now. Could you post a pic of the left/right brake disable switch?

From the angles shown I think the 17s look better.

Who wears the pants... IXLR8
She loves the 993; not so my new R1200ST.

Pricing...IXLR8
What is the cost of a set? IIRC, it was around $4,000.

Pricing there will be €529 and €589 for stock 17 inch sizing. That pricing includes 19% tax and shipping. So in our dollars CA$591 and CA$658. Who knows what they will gouge us for here.

Alex:

Let me guess: you're thinking of bringing a set with you when you return from your annual ride in the Alps.

And your $800 exemption will give you some relief on the duty. You could buy them right at the factory, after you do a tour.
