It seems I'll have a part gs500 soon too. At least the front rim. Potholes pretty much ate Teresa's front rim, to a point where she needed a guest rim just to pass our version of MOT - while we practically don't have flat enough roads to actually sense the dents in it... (Are most of our roads so dangerous? Then repair them, and leave me alone with this rim that got hurt by THESE roads, right...?)
OTOH, if BMW makes so soft rims (I'm not the only BMW owner one who got their front rims deformed because of bad roads, not at all...) I don't want to have another time bomb attached to the front fork. That rim is a piece of art, but a pretty time bomb is still a time bomb. I'd rather get something different. GS500 parts are easy to get, the tire size matches and brake disc size is close enough and it's on the same side...
