Maybe these guys could source the racing wheels for starters.

What is the price for the magnesium racing wheels per set?

Their website indicates about $1,700.00 per wheel for their "regular" ones.

I'm talking about the BUELL racing wheels. What do THOSE go for?

More than $1700? Less?


Looks like this firm has one set of wheels that fit about 5 makes of bikes. Could they even produce a different kind of wheel?

The Marchisini for the R1 are $3,938.65 a set. I'd guess the Buell's are in the range of $2,000. Seems reasonable for good mag wheels.

Can someone explain why the wheels have "made in China" on them in the first place. I know that whoever designed the wheels at Buell, did not think that it made the wheels look better.

Maybe there is something that I am totally missing, but there are a few products that I have designed that are being manufactured in China, well probably all of them, and not one of them has "made in China" in 30 pt font in the most visible area.

FRom Durrani's website:MSRP: $1598.00 per Set for Magnesium

If they were $1700 EACH the Carbon fiber BST wheels would be more attractive.Yeah,of course i own a set of BSTs'

THis is a little silly
