Those black wheels look awesome butters! Would love a set for my malibu

Oh well, when my cannondale rush arrives in a week or so I won't be so bothered....it will probably lead to me ignoring my 5 for a while :lol:

Hey hegzie, personally I think a wheel with a black centre and polished rim would really suit our Malibu Golds. These are Chaparral wheels, same as those on Peter's (pcmx5) '97 LE, but with a different finish.

No, not yet! :oops:

I am hoping to get a chance to find that pesky relay and test it on sunday! Hopefully the threads from here have finally located it :!:

I hope to put in the extra antennae for my GPS on the roll bar too!

Been very difficult to find much free time in the last 12 months! Sheesh, I haven't even had a chance to make it to a run yet! :cry:

Yum, Juffa!

Stop tempting me with such delights! Although, surely seeing as I spent do much on a second wheelset for my new pushie, surely I can buy those for the malibu!:evil: Don't want her getting jealous! :lol:

They look to me like "Black" (brand not colour!)wheels and if they are 14 inch they are typically about $50 each in that sort of condition.

I too have a set in my garage and at one stage when my wheel fetish was at its worst had 20 of them!

They are very light however.
