Called about Dymags for my 12R today. Told none in the country.
I wanted to get some gold 5 spoke magnesium Dymags for my 12R but was told there are none in the country and shouldn't expect any for a few months. They are made in England.
You guys have any ideas? Other sources? I talked to David at Island Racing. He was really nice. I probably should backorder them from him, but I wanted to mount them with some new Pilot Sports now before the warm weather hits Cincinnati.
Any suggestions? Email me at pretherford@fdlawrence.com if you do.
Thanks,
Pat

One..
nice thing about Dymags is that they meet or exceed DOT. The same cannot be said about other aftermarket wheels.
I remember years ago one was strongly suggested to x-ray your wheels once a year or after a good wack-read pothole.
Also they state not for highway use. So choose wisely. Things may have changed since then, but I know Dymags are nice. If you have a silver 12r, the lower "black" paint is the exact same color as the "black" Dymag color. A sort of gun metal bluish-black. Beautiful if I may say so.

Pat, I think you should probably wait until David says they are available. Other vendors may/may not be aware of the new design cush drive after mine failed (David said I was the "Guinea Pig for the world!" YIKES!) You want to make sure you get the new redesigned cush drive or you may experience a failure like I did.
I got my wheels in only one week from David in Dec. of 00'. Last time I talked to him he said this time of year is bad cuz they are gearing up for GP's, WSB, etc. & it could be awhile due to the backlog. They may have to specifically make up your cush drive as well as I don't think they sold that many ZX12R wheels. Took ~6 weeks turnaround on mine...but all is well now.

Superbike Racing (address below)is the North American distributor, ask to talk to Andrew. All mag wheels are manufactured the same. Dymags are the only mag wheels DOT approved. If you can't locate a set you may want to look at some of the forged wheels, light and strong!

Wow, that's one awesome price f/Marchesini's. Do they have a cush drive?
