I went with a cheaper alternative...

Central Wheel Components sorted me out with black anodised Morad rims in 17x3.5" (takes 120/70) front and 17x5" (takes 160-170/70) rear which they drilled to suit the original hubs which I had powder coated black. Central Wheel also supplied the apropiate length black chrome spokes...

They are very easy to keep clean and I enjoy cleaning mine.

Anyone in the US pressed the button on the Kineo wheels for their Triumph? I am interested. For the high price I need to know they are perfect so keen to hear any opinions. I nearly purchased the Alpina wheels but kept hearing a high % of air leaks which has put me off.

Alternatively, anyone want to sell me a set of Carrozzeria's for a 2004 Thruxton?
