[QUOTE="Black Flash, post: 23929, member: 433"] Hi Bob, the wheels have to look the same from each side, if you look at one side of the wheel facing to you, the outer spokes have to point to the right on top of the spoke flange and exactly same when you turn the wheel and look at the other side. they can also point to the left regarding on the drilling in the dimples, which is unimportant IMO. I had to grind the spokes heads as well but only on the inner spokes. also check that the spokes heads won't touch the brakedrum. one wheel I dismatled had the paint worn of where the spoke heads where touching the drum. luckily there was enough give when the previous owner fitted the drum, not to crack it. Peter Barker (A-HRD) sells lasercut shims to solve that problem. simply fit and forget. Bernd [/QUOTE]
