    Looking for magnesium or CF wheels for GSXR - dealer or used

    I am looking at upgrading the hoops on my race bikes and am curious if anyone here has an "in" with someone selling either forged magnesium or carbon fiber wheels for an 06+ GSXR platform but must stick with 17" wheels (3.5x17 and 5.5x17). Used would be ok if in excellent condition. I dont care about appearances as long as the wheel is intact and spins true.

    Naturally I am a semi-broke racer so cost is absolutely a factor but I am not attached to any particular brand as long as the weight and MOI is low.

    find out if 01 GSXR 1000 wheels will fit.
    i have a set of marchesini's on my street bike that i could sell.

    i know the rotors used are 320mm, so you'd need a spacer for your 310mm ones.

    The front will fit if its 05+ but the rear will be 6" and not the 5.5" that I am looking for. I dont think that I have clearance for a 6" wheel.

    Orient Express is selling Dymag CF units at 30% off, and they can do a 5.5" rear.

    Thanks for the tip! That might be a good solution if nothing else presents itself. Thanks for the info!

    Anyone else?

    I thought CF was not allowed in CCS

    The LRRS rule book makes no mention of CF wheels. The CCS rulebook says they're ok as long as they are DOT or BS approved and JWL tested and certified. See Section 5, rule 5.2.3 A for the exact wording.

    This. The two manufacturers I am looking at are both JWL certified.
