Rob E Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Looking for a gently used KS-16s, V8S, or V10F (or similar) as my first wheel. Anyone have one for sale in Northern VA? Thanks! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldFartRides Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) I guess that 14s in Powhatan is smaller than you want ? And then there’s that 18xl in DC…. Edited October 19, 2021 by OldFartRides Added to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 18xl is more than I was hoping to spend. Would it be a good choice for a first wheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldFartRides Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I hear good things about them….and you would probably not outgrow it as fast as the 14s. But if you want small and nimble to just to toodle around on, for less than half the price…. I still like my 16s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EUCRookie Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I'm probably way too far up north here to sell but but I believe having a wheel that's water resistant and good for off-roading is pretty much a must so I think inmotion is going to be the best option. I'm not a fan of being restricted to nice roads and pretty days lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny Paul Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 The v8s is so new that you’ll likely blow your budget. If you find one used, and that’s a big if, odds are it will be selling for close to retail. Maybe you’ll get a better response if you post your budget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 18XL is a fantastic first wheel. It's really not that much bigger than the wheels you're currently considering, while having both a higher top speed (which means a higher safety margin even at lower speeds) and much greater range. If one can find a used 18XL in good shape for around or less than the price of a new V8S or V10[F] or 16S I say that's a great option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
