OZ HL01 ZX-12/9 rims
Recently I destroyed my Rear stock wheel. So, good time to upgrade. What do you all think of the OZ HL01 aluminum rims? YOu can check them out at:
www.revlimiterracing.com/wheels/ozwheels/ozwheels.html
Do any of you recommend any other wheels over these at a similar price range for street use? (The OZ wheels are 25% lighter than stock and a pair go for about $1700)
Also, I've been told the ZX-9 wheels and swingarm are identical to the 2000/2001 ZX-12. If so, does this mean you can interchange aftermarket zx-9 and 12 wheels and swingarms?

Only 25% lighter? What a joke for $1700. Shoot me an email and I can save you $300 and save you about 12lbs in weight.

Hmmm...25% lighter for that kind of money, doesnt sound right to me. I'm sure someone else would know better then me though if that sounds right.

Ebay Dymags sold already. 25% big weight savings to me. Some magnesium wheels may save 30% in weight, but don't they run more of a risk of cracking and or bending in street use (potholes) or from incompetent machanics? Anyway, the OZ wheels are now out of stock, as are the Dymags. Anyone know where I can get some lightweight but durable wheels soon -- my 12 is missing all the nice weather out in cA.
