looks like they would be easy to bend, but very sweet looking....

Their around $2000 a pair for the MAGNESIUM and they say they are strong
enough for the street.
A local kawasaki dealer said MAGNESIUM rims crack easy thats false, they bend like ALLUMINIUM
The Marvic dealer said the only way to bend them is to hit a curb
the stock ones bend if you hit a curb mine did.lol
I was leaning twards the carbon fibre but they are a little too pricey $1800
for 1 rim.
I decied to get the marvic piuma's for $2000.Should have them monday or tuesday I hate waiting.

well the only reason that I am getting new ones is my front has a dent from a fall for a stock replacement is over $500.
