2g to 3g rims

[vinnybean]

i was wondering what the difference between teh 2g 10 spoke and the 3g 10 wheels are...if anyone has some pictures where i can see teh comparision that would be cool

I didnt know the 3g had 10 spoke wheels. Im pretty sure it only came with 6 spokes.
And the 2G came with either 5 or 12 spoke rims. I did a quick search on Google images to find them. i personally love the 2g rims.

2g and 3g both had 17 inch 10 spoke wheels. The 2g wheels are two piece welded together and the 3g wheels are one cast piece. The are both heavy with a poor finish and bend easily.

I believe only certain 2k models had them...and yes, they dent with the quickness.

the 2g had three different rim types? i was not aware they existed nor have i ever seen a 10 spoke 2G rim. Sure your not thinking of the 12 spoke?

Yes, only the 2GB (97-99) GSX had 10 spokes.

those to me look liek 2g rims because teh spokes go straighter without teh 3g bend i was describing

these i "think" are 3g's
