Can anyone here tell me what company manufactures the wheels for Triumph on the 2015 Rocket Roadsters? Nothing important, just curious. I'm really impressed with the design and overall workmanship quality of the rims. It's unfortunate that they're not more outwardly visible. (I was buffing off the oxidation from the aluminum which provided me with a closer look and greater appreciation).

Sorry can't help with your question but it did remind me of the story I read where on some of the Triumph Thunderbirds (amongst other models as well) there was a recall on certain wheels as the Chinese company that was contracted to manufacture them had used a third party to manufacture the wheel bearings and Triumph were concerned as to there being a safety issue. http://blog.motorcycle.com/2013/02/...e-and-2012-thunderbird-and-thunderbird-storm/

Led to believe that the castings are done in TRIUMPHS plant in Thailand .. but don't quote me on that.

I picked up a set of Triumph chrome mag wheels for my 03 America. The chrome was perfect. The wheels really improved the looks of the ride.

I wish they had the chrome option for the Roadster mags complete with the black painted inserts.
