CBR F3 Front Rim Alternative
Hey its me again, I really need some guidance on what to do with this because I am stuck. As of now I have two front wheels for my F3, and both have pothole dings, the wheel i have on currently leaks air and the ding is extremely similar to my other rim which has a bald tire on so i have not even bothered filling with air because the damage looks about the same and its unsafe regardless.
How should i go about this I've heard great things about Wills Rim Repair | Bent motorcycle rim repair from other motorcycle forums, gave him a call and he sounded really knowledagble, even saying he can repair rotors and claims he's been in the business for a while.
So that is one of my options or trying to guy buy a new wheel but as it stands i cant find one AT ALL, literally only two on ebay one thats all chromed out for 300 and one that has welds on it.
Is there an alternative wheel for the F3? i tried searching and have come up with some instances of like some GEN VFR wheels are the same but require spaces, how would i go about this. Any input would be great im ready to ride this f3 already.

I would just have Wills Wheel repair fix the one you got. You taking a chance buying used wheels, they might say they're straight etc but they might not be. I've bought so called good straight wheels and some were and some werent. Would've been cheaper just in the long run to have had the ones I got straightened in the first place. I dont believe there is a direct bolt on wheel from a different model. You'd have to take in the consideration of brake rotors placement, wheel spacers etc. It'd be just like putting a CBR 900 rear wheel on F2 or F3, it can be done, having stuff machined, etc, etc. but it'd be way easier to have the stock rear wheel widened, then all the stock spacers, sprocket carrier, rear caliper mount etc still could be used.
