MSerfozo Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 https://japan.webike.net/products/1253059.html Gun Metallic Silver should look good with my bike. Just have to find a 48T sprocket to fit that isn't a $150 Supersprox On-Demand-CNC custom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTheAzn Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Interesting, I've never heard of these so I did a tad bit of reading. Haven't come across a horror story yet.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer_kaw Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Very popular with the ZRX crowd. Much lighter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSerfozo Posted May 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rims should be high quality Edited May 6, 2018 by serpentracer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSerfozo Posted May 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 Just finished dropping 170,000 yen on these! Can't wait to see and ride on them. Tried convincing my wife that they were $11,000 less than a new FZ-10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSerfozo Posted July 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 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...
