Patterned after the famous Borrani shouldered aluminum rims, this matching set of front and rear WM2-19 rims are the perfect complement to a café racer conversion for the Norton Commando models equipped with front and rear full-width drum brakes. May also be suitable fitment for some 1960s Norton Atlas and P11, AJS, and Matchless models.
These high-quality alloy rims are drilled for 40 spokes and designed for use with the Norton full-width drum brake hubs specified through 1972. Not compatible with disc brake hubs. Supplied by Excel Japan.
Aluminum is an ideal material for use in wheel rims due to its strength, lighter rotational weight, and anti-corrosive properties. The broad sidewall shoulders also offer enhanced lateral rigidity, making alloy rims perfect for competition applications.
New spokes should always be used when building wheels. Wheel building is an acquired skill and requires patience and attention to detail. The correct pattern must be followed when lacing wheels and the final offset must be accurate for correct alignment in the fork or swinging arm. In many cases, wheel building is best left for a qualified specialist to carry out.
