Wanted: 16" front wheel - purple

I am search of a great condition - good paint and true; front rim for my pre-gen. I have a new tire, and good rotor - just need an "A" Grade wheel for them. It needs to be "purple" though ( Metallic Blue-Violet as Kawasaki calls it ). Let me know what you have please.

Like this one.

Just wondering... do you have one that got bent? Woody's will straighten wheels that are pretty badly bent.

Yes, I have a good wheel, but with a "blip" in it, on one side. It isn't all that bad, but noticeable. I though that it would be cheaper, and easier, to just replace it. Is Woody's a national chain? I have not heard of them near me.

The place is Woody's Wheel Works. They are a great source of motorcycle rims, spokes, wheels, etc., and straighten wheels reasonably. It's not a chain, but it's well known and on the net. You may be right with a Ninja 250 wheel about being able to get another one cheaper than the straightening charge and shipping both ways, but the color will be right and it will be straight for sure when you get it back.

How about $40 plus shipping from NJ for a purple front wheel.

Thanks =Phyber for offering up the front wheel. I am just seeing your post now, but I already found one two weeks ago. I'm glad to see that you sold it though.
