1978 GS1000 wheel options

[Azov]

Hi, just building on a budget, a Wes Cooley race replica. I want to keep the stock forks and swinging arm, and wondered if there are any three spoke wheel options that are not too wide I can use, 18 inch preferably but open to anything suggested 

thankds

Welcome to OSS 

18" 3 spoke gsxr1100j but if you can find some not cheep at all.

Other options front b6 MK1 front, you can get bearing for the smaller spindle size I think, you will need to make plates for mounting the calipers. Rear bandit 400 has a 160 rear tyre on a 4.5" rim gsxr400 don't know size of tyre bandit 600 4" rim I think, gsx750f. All these are 17" wheels

use a gsx750 teapot rear caliper so you can keep the caliper on top of the disc instead of it going under, saves massing relocating the torque arm.

You may well run out of money before options!

Hi and Welcome.

I think some pics of progress so far would help inspire wheel suggestions 

 

Also- All of @wraithsuggestions are going to be best for budget. B6/teapot stuff doesn’t cost huge amounts.

This was fitted with GSXR 1100 slabside fork and wheels :

 

Looks pretty good (except the shit discs)

I put some wheels from the green brand on a recent build as they were 3 spoke and 18"
