Don't want to scare you but my coys spinners bubbled and pitted like 50 year old bits and may have been on the road for 150 miles? This is just the spinner bit I am speaking about. Their web page says bubbles are not a defect?

I had to wait for the spinners because they had them made by another company. I had a couple that looked bad and they sent me two new ones. They have been really easy to deal with. I also bought a C-67 to use as my spare and to have an extra wheel just in case. So I will have another spinner with that one. If they start to look bad I might just have them cleaned and rechromed. But thanks for he info.

That's great to hear. I will ring them tomorrow to see if anything can be done. I bought a spare wheel as well.

Cheers and love the ride.

i had a good experience dealing with coys. wheels look great. originally got 17x8 c67, then later i wanted 17x9 in back. they allowed me to return two 8'' wide wheels 2 years after purchase and trade for 9'' wheels ! i just had to pay shipping. great company

Are your fenders/quarters rolled to clear that set up?

Nope, I still might lower the front about 1/2 inch. The rear will get lowered 1 inch. I might have to roll the front lips if I lower it to much. But as it sits there is no rubbing at all.
