Does anyone out there know if there is a custom made bicycle rim that has no spokes? I am looking for a rim that is custom and has a design such as flames, spades, etc. like for motorcycles. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

....no individual spokes such as in a disk wheel?? Are you looking for solid wheels??

The nearest you're likely to find is: 700c, solid or 3- 4- or 5- spoked track/TT wheels. 26in, 3- 4- 5- or 6-spoked plastic 'mag' wheels, ditto for 20in. Skyway make the best mags.

As for showy motorcycle-style wheels, unless you want to spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars on a custom-made, unfeasably heavy wheelset, you're out of luck.

Your right there alexs.

I noticed a similar bike in a shop lately. Huge and ugly it was!!!could hardly lift the damn thing.
Don`t know what corner of the market they are aimed at, can`t see them selling to anyone, and certainly not seen any on the roads or anywhere if it comes to that!.
