I'd like to put 17" or 16" spoked or cast wheels on my XS650 to run modern rubber. Any experience or suggestions? Building a sort of streetfigher/street tracker look.

the 16" cast wheel off any special will bolt right up but you will lose some of the handling the narrower 18" provides, one other thing to think about do you have drum or disc brake? drum brake mags are in short supply
