Does anyone know when or if these wheels will be available. I'm looking to rebuild one of my bikes and would like to use these wheels.

My guess is the rear wheel is a bearing swap (and maybe an axle) to be compatible with the belt drive, but the reports here so far is the front is designed around a larger front axle.

That might pose some problems unless you also swap out the front forks.

What are you willing to spend?
From all accounts they are Mag, and the standard Mag XB style wheel is just south of $1000.

Drop Erik Buell Racing a note, they sould be able to get them for you if you needed them.

PVM makes a nice forged Al set for our bikes at around $2700 given current exchange rates.

I have no doubts about the cachet of the new Erik Buell Racing wheels, but the PVM product is premium in every way, light, and available right now without any special consideration.

It's worthy of contemplation if you are going to drop $2k+ on wheels, IMHO.

I've heard rumors of May/June. Different front and rear axle.
