Elegant 13-inch Mk III Rim for modern Vespa GTS, GTV and MP3


SIP Scootershop is offering dealers access to a programme of elegant, classic, and sporty design, modern-Vespa SIPMK III Rims for GTS, GTV and MP3 vehicles. One hundred percent German made, they are type approved and 'good to go'.

Available in 13 inch (1 inch larger than standard) the Mk III design is suitable for wide tyres up to 140/60-13", with road approval for front and rear.





"Every modern Vespa gains visual presence and individuality with larger wheels," says SIP CEO Ralf Jodl. "But not only that, driving stability is also improved with the rotating masses further to the outside. 

"The Mk-III Rim has its own unmistakable visual character, even though it comes from the same stable as its siblings. The two 5-fold patterns of single and double spokes offer maximum mechanical stability, which has also been recognized by the KBA for approval on the front and rear wheel."


All tyre sizes that are designed to fit under the mudguards and covers of the GTS models can be installed: 110/70-13, 120/70-13, 130/60-13, 130/70-13, 140/60-13. When using the "140/60-13" tyre, a tyre approval from the respective tyre manufacturer must be submitted. In addition to the ABE document, we provide many tyre approvals in the download area." 

One thing to remember is that changing the tyre size also changes the gear ratio, which ultimately leads to a deviation in the speedometer display. As the original speedometer deviates from the real value by up to 10%, the deviation is still within the tolerance for 13" rims with max. 140 Tyres. "This is actually an advantage," says Ralf, "as the speedometer display comes closer to the real speed with the larger tyres."
