Have found some RGV250 wheels VJ21, and would like to know if they are a good choice for a possible hybrid project ? Any advice appreciated .
Possibly looking at finally having a crack at my 350lc( YPVS engine) mongrel project .

Hi Welcome to the forum. Vj21 front wheel is the same as a Vj22, so a good choice for either rwu 21 forks, or usd 22 forks. A 21 rear wheel is 18" so not so good for decent tyres - you can get them but they are more limited for choice. There are lots of different combos that guys are using. Check out the resto section for what's possible. Dusty  |

18" wheels Fit and look good on our Yamas, which look odd with smaller wheels. Yes 18's limit Tire choices. But there are Decent tires available as 18's.
Just not ideal for the Isle of Man usage
I have Pirelli diablo rosso corsas on My 600RR, so I appreciate good rubber.
But then there's no chance that I will bend MY lc into those cornering speeds either. Will You be ?

KR1S rear wheels are 18 inchers and although they look the bollox the tyre size is 140/60/18 which only Bridgestone make now
The front is a 17 inch too
I do have a couple Aprilia RS250 rear wheels (17 inch) just incase Bridgestone stop making then
