wheels?

What would be the lightest and stongest wheels for dragracing and normal riding

How much scratch you want to spend? You have in excess of $4500 to blow get some BST CF hoops.
So, you want to drag or just putt around? or Both?
A lot of good quality and lighter rims out there, all a matter of personal choice.
I would get what blanca or sleepless have on their rides.

BSTs man .... hands down... cant praise them enough... BEST MOD EVER

CZ wheels. Best bang for the buck.

I agree if you have the bucks for them....

bst

 

[ogre]

or cz, or marzocchi would be the middle ground. bst is definitely the top of the heap in terms of lightness and pricetag

I know the bst but will they hold up with a lot of street riding with bumps in the road and etc.etc. Plus i think of the bst more for the serious racer trying to save every pound possible. So i guess im looking for more in the middle

You can't go wrong with the CZ's. I have more than 12K miles on mine and still going strong.

I love them but just cant understand why they are so exp. All of the pro street cars I had I did not have 4500 in all four wheels and tires. I had 15 inch wide wheels on the rear with 19 1/2 X 33 inch tires on the back. One of my back wheels could make 2 bike wheels. I just don't get it. I would love to have a set but just cant afford to spend that much on 2 wheels.

I agree 8ball, I guess motorcycle wheel manufacturers buy into the "less is more" philosophy.

I went through the same a few years ago. I wanted BSTs but the price was more than I could see paying. After quite a bit of research, I ended up with Marvic Piumas. Many of the pro street guys were using the so I knew the would hold up for me at the track. They were also the lightest non-CF wheel out there. The are cast magnesium so their could be some street strength issues. If that bothers you pick a DOT approved aluminum wheel. You choices will be very limited with DOT only offerings. My Marvics have 3 years on the street without any issues.

Ill buy 4 if it makes em the same cost as car wheels

 

[07vigorblue]

Using Galespeed rims for 3 years,went trunk road riding and touring with lots of pot holes.No issue so far,of cause its not the lightest.My friend's gixxer 1k stock rims bented in at a slow speed over quite a deep and big pot hole.Especially in the rear.

The MOI is lowest on the BST's. I will take that each and every time.
