While normally Gemballa is a little over the top, I love the Gemballa Competition wheels .

However, they aren't made any longer and those that come up for sale are generally WB fitment. Can they be made affordably into NB?

Since they are a 2 piece wheel you would need to have someone custom make a whole barrel with a different offset. So I'm pretty sure the answer to your question is no.

Damn. Was hoping they were 3 piece. Thx.

My Gemballa Competition on a narrow body.
I purchased them from a distributor in Europe, 2003.
Had them refinished last year.
They are my favorite wheel also.

^^ That's just mean.



On midnight blue, no less.

Seriously, way to pour salt in the wound of JPS.

I know you have been looking forever for a set of those wheels in NB offset. Have you considered buying a set of Roocks? They look very similar to the Gemballa Competition except they have one extra bolt between the spokes and the air stem is not hidden in one of the bolts like the Gemballas. Other than that it is literally the exact same wheel.

I frankly sort of forgot about the Roocks. Thanks for the reminder.

Are they still in business though?

The Roock's are also no longer sold.... I actually emailed them about a year ago and they mentioned that they might still have a set or two of old stock in their European warehouse but weren't sure. At the time, I decided not to follow up since I found a set of Gemballas.

Might be worth an email/ call to see if they still have something left over.
