has anybody found out about wheels for this bike? I wonder if 12 wheels will fit? Seems like the next place to lose big weight.

Didn't you get two wheels with your bike? 
The stock wheels are semi-hollow at the hubs, are strong enough to withstand some of the nastier bumps on the street and are probably one of the lightest of wheels for a mass production motorcycle. Yes, it would be a good place to eliminate unsprung weight, however one bad spot in the road and $1000 plus dollars are gone in an instant.

Lightest of wheels for a mass production motorcycle?????? Have you weighed one? I pulled mine off and weighed it....sprocket, factory tire and all...was close to 39 pounds! I weighed my cousins gsxr1000 wheel tire combo with sprocket...25pounds. This was all on a digital postal scale good to 1oz. Havent done the front yet...guessing 15-20 pounds.
