Spokes Appraisal

Motorcycle Spoked Wheel with Tire and Brake Rotor

This item is a complete motorcycle wheel assembly, featuring a spoked wheel, a tire, and a brake rotor. The wheel rim appears to be made of polished or chrome-plated aluminum or steel, exhibiting some signs of wear, surface scratches, and possibly minor pitting consistent with age and use. The spokes are visible and appear to be made of steel, showing some darkening or mild corrosion, suggesting they are not new. Attached to the hub is a disc brake rotor, characterized by its metallic silver-grey color and visible surface wear patterns, likely from brake pad contact. The disc also shows some discoloration and possible surface rust or grime, indicating it has been exposed to elements or used extensively. The center of the hub features a bearing assembly, which appears grimy and shows signs of age. The tire mounted on the rim is black rubber with a visible tread pattern, though parts of the tread look worn, particularly on the edges. The sidewall of the tire also shows signs of aging, possibly minor cracking or flattening from storage. The overall condition suggests this is a used part, likely from an older motorcycle, possibly from the late 20th century given the spoke wheel and disc brake combination. There are no clear manufacturer's marks or signatures visible in the provided image. The craftsmanship appears standard for a motorcycle wheel from that era, with attention to function rather than purely aesthetic finish.
