I need new tires on my C10 but I'd like more tire choices so need different rims.
So... What rim choices do I have?
Thanks ahead of time.

At risk of re-hashing something that's been covered in the past (feel free to point me to an older thread), if 17s front/rear improve the handling that much, what were the characteristics the engineers prioritized when sizing the 18/16 wheels? In an era where 16-inch wheels were pretty common front and rear, why the larger front?Yes a wider choice for tires using 17" wheels. But the most surprising change was how this bike now handles!
Don't have an answer for that other than a parts glutton on these size wheels and "we are going to use them". In '08 they made the change going to 17" front and rear. Anyway, going 17" has me happy.At risk of re-hashing something that's been covered in the past (feel free to point me to an older thread), if 17s front/rear improve the handling that much, what were the characteristics the engineers prioritized when sizing the 18/16 wheels?

Although looking over specs, it seems like Kawasaki was a little all over the place with tires on their sportbikes in that era, with the GPZ900 using a 16" front and 18" rear, and the succeeding ZX-10 using 17" front and 18" rear. Weird.
