Default Aftermarket - Lighter Wheels

I'm looking into getting or finding somewhere some aftermarket wheels for my 2004 600RR... I want some lighter ones than stock. Any suggestions as to where I could find some, or if anyone has some...let me know!

Thanks!

Aaron

Marchesini wheels.... www.marchesiniwheels.com

They are expensive but from I hear, they are pretty nice. Plus if you go to oncycles.com they have Dymag wheels there...

There are carbon fiber wheels out there too but those are EXPENSIVE....

i'd seriously reconsider buying any of the aftermarket rims...yes they look sweet and are all bling and way lighter, but do you want someone to fubar your 1200 set of wheels when intalling new tires? fact is, most tire places will fubar up your rims!

so unless you seriously need these for racing (to save as much weight as possible), i'd just shell out the bling elsewhere!

Yeah, they are VERY expensive; plan on spending at least $3000 when all is said and done. You'll likely need new rotors, carriers, and sprocket. Check out Marchesini, BST, and Carrozeria.

yea. i dont know, we will see if i end up pulling the trigger on new ones. just seeing what i may have for options. seems like there is only expensive ones, no middle of the road ones (unlike rims for cars...tons of options).
