I have 15", 16", 17", and 18". How the hell am I supposed to reply to this survey? 8-) Suppose I should be pleased that it apparently qualifies me as sane.

Mine came with 15" basketweaves and I was thinking of getting some 18" Style 37 M-Para's.
But OEM's were out of this world cost wise (about $4,500.00 AUD new) and replicas were too heavy. And 18"'s aren't going to ride all that well on 'normal' roads.
For a short time I considered some 17" Style 5's but they're hard to come by over here S/H (new price again around $4,000.00 AUD) and they're also a pig to clean.
Finally I found a set of genuine 17" T-Stars on Ebay with good tyres for $1,500.00 AUD ($1,100.00 USD) and the rest is history! :)

If they haven't upgraded to normal sizes by now, there's something wrong with them :) TRX tyres are expensive and rare as hell.

agreed here in NZ its cheaper to buy new rims and tyres than four new metrics....I still have a metric spare.......

Our roads are so crook that the lower profile tyres required on anything larger than 15 inch means damaged rims.
More choice in tyres too, but I don't agree that they are cheaper.

The 16" bottlecaps seem to fit the grandpa thing going with bronzit 5.
