Thinking about ordering these - what do you think?

I have a friend who's working on his second bike that he's fitted with Galespeeds.  He says they're not the absolute lightest out there, but they're light around the circumference to minimize rotating inertia and he can really tell the difference.

 

The price seems right and the site I linked will sell the F & R wheels separately which I need since I'm running Hayabusa forks.

I'll keep you guys updated and, of course, post pics when they're here and installed.

Interesting, I've never heard of these so I did a tad bit of reading. Haven't come across a horror story yet.... :dunno:

Galespeed makes high end brake levers like brembo.  Yamaha sells their stuff on their parts site.  Kind of like gills tooling.  The rims should be high quality

FINALLY!  Just got the shipping email.  Wheels are on the way from Japan. I switched from the silver ones in the OP to black. 

And just last week I received a pair of Michelin Pilot RS tires to mount on 'em.

 

But I don't get home from this work trip for 2 weeks...
