Want different wheels - will these fit?

I am trying to decide between a few mag wheels;

or these (I beleive they are from GL1200

Or these which may be from GL 1500

My questions:

first of all, I need a 16 rear & 19 front do any or all of the above come in this size?

can I just get them & put them on my 79 KZ650? If not, what mods do I need to do?

PS How do I post more than one photo in a post?

They are very similar with straight spokes, although different a number of spokes. It wouls also depend on what you could get to fit; width, axle sizes, brake set ups, etc.

As far as multiple pics in a post, you would need to have your pics posted somewhere else like photobucket, then use the "Img" tabs above (while in a posting page) to add as many as you'd like.

Ok so my direct question is, anyone get a GL 1200 rims to fit on a KZ650? I need a 16 on rear & 19 on front? If they don't fit, what mods do I need to do to make them fit?

Why dont you use wheels off a 650 LTd 16 rear and 19 front ?? They look simular to the pics you posted ? I must have missed something here right ? I see in the GL1200 rear wheel is was a shaft drive wheel ..this could be a major problem with a lot of fabricating work ?? You are looking for the over size tire look then ? Might be looking at GPZ wheels or just run a search on Ebay for Kawasaki wheels ??? I am missing something here right ??

Ok what I want is that fat tire look like this photo.


BUT I want the 9 spokers like the Goldwing wheels. So is there any Goldwing wheels (or 9 spokers for that reason) that are 16 x 19 that I can use?

sorry I meant THIS bike!

Most Goldwings are shaft drive .. need to look for chain drive rear wheels ? Not sure anyone here has ever used these wheels ?? The wheels in the picture looks like a Custom made wheels ,, Using a KZ hub and having a wider rim laced to it or Just a custom wheel made to fit a Kz

DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!! I want those 9 spokes! Man this sucks big time. Any other 9 spokes out there with chain drive?

Just start lookin on ebay ,, you may find what you are looking for..Or if you would live close to a bike Yard you could just go lookin at all the bikes there ,, Hey something will come your way .. hang in there ..

All I have been doing is looking on Ebay & that is where I found these to begin with. No dice yet. Next step is to search the junk yards. Thanx for the help
