Original carbon fiber wheel. The company is no longer in business so spare parts would be a problem. I had a set on a Triumph ten years ago and they worked great. They did have a recall at one point for cush drive failure from drag racing shock loads. The early wheels were three spoke and later they also had a 5/6 spoke which looked better. Hope this helps.

I had the 3 spoke Dymag c/f wheels on my Busa for about 3 years, from 2000 thru late 2003. Nice lightweight wheels as compared to stock wheels. Only problem was in the spoke design. The spokes were very wide, and when the wheels got spinning at speed out on the road the lack of air flow THRU the wheels made my skoot VERY susceptible to side winds and gusts. I had had enuff of this sh%t when a side gust of wind just about blew the wheels out from under me while i was leaned WAAAYY over in one of my high speed turns. To say my a#%hole puckered up would be the understatement of the year!!
So back in late 2003 i sold the Dymags and switched to BST wheels. The BST were only 4 onces per wheel lighter than the Dymags, but with the narrow 5 spoke design my problems with the wheels getting blown out from under me was gone!!

We have installed the Dymag 5 spoke wheels years ago, but those skoots are not around so i don't know how they are doing.
