Alternative Wheels

Yes - I know BST.

But for the sake of discussion - lets assume not everybody wants Carbon Fibre wheels.

Are there any already out there?

Steve Taylor at TaylorMade Performance Engineering Ltd in the UK has said that he'd be interested in seeing R3 wheels to get hub dimensions. He does stuff for V-Max's already.

His 5 Spoke classic are close-ish in looks to R3 rims, but he does have other stuff to offer. Just a thought.

Well.. Warp got his rear welded up into a 17" if I remember correctly....

Some gob****e from the UK R3 Owners Club had a set of custom chromed ones made and they cracked where the spokes met the rims. Personally I hope they fall in half on him. I would make sure they're up for the power and weight.

I waited for others to test the BST ones before I went for one.

I emailed the Australian importer for BST, asking about tyre advice for the R3 carbon rims.. Got a" sorry, can't help you, ask the tyre companies" response.. ***in shoddy if you ask me,. Sell you wheels, but sorry mate no clue what you do with them......
