Definiative black rim tyre combo... for snow!
hi all...

off to the artic circle next xmas... by law will need studs fitted while there. Really want to fit tyres here in the UK and studs on the way. I have a black 110 XS CSW so thought about some/cool/black rims.

So whats the options - pics please.

Matt

There is ZU's, Sawtooths etc too.
Black boosts look nice but on certain colours IMO as above. Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧
