Will the sportster wheels fit on our xb buells? Have found some wire wheels that were really cool looking as though the xb isn't different to look at now. |

Are there any other wheels available for xb's? I like the red I have, just wanted something different. |

Different colors are available from Buell but the wheels themselves are all the same. Take a look at Buell's website (under accessories) to see the different colors available. Off hand I can think of the Cherry Bomb, Amber, White, Black and a really cool Blue. I don't know of any aftermarket wheels for the XB but I've never really searched for it either. |

I think any wheels other than the buell ones have to be custom ordered/made because of the way the rotor mounts to them. |

wire wheels are what peaked my interest and I think that would be very sleek and old school. |

I agree that wire wheels are absolutely gorgeous but I wouldn't run them unless I could find some that were tubeless. It's a lot easier and faster to plug a tubeless tire to get you home or to a shop. The one time I got a flat on my Sporty (wire wheels) I had to borrow a friends truck. The one time I got a flat with my Buell it was clean hole, insert plug, inflate with small compressor (that I keep in the tank bag) and ride. |
