Got them on my vespa only had them on for about 4 months so can not say how good yet.Tyres was easyer to fit than other tubeless and they r a good looking wheel imo.If you do get some put the gunk in and the good stuff not the £6 a bottle stuff.

smart looking scooter m8, those are the rims i was looking at , when you said use tyre gunk did you use it to inflate the tyre completely or an air /gunk mix thanks again

You need to take the valve out so tyre is flat then put the gunk in (there is enough in the bottle to do 3-4 wheels its about £25 ) then put valve back in and pump up to normal 18 front 28 back i think.
I think the wheels come with the valve in now did not when i got mine.So if the valves are the same as mine and your drum is the same as mine you might have to dremel a bit out of the drum cus the valve will be to tight.If yours is a disc (star hub)i think they fit ok.Hope all that helps
