new wheel

[gixermike]

i am looking for new wheel for my 750 k7 front 

i saw these advertised new for £250 on evilbay

i just wondered if anyone has tried them and if any good as second hand original wheels are similar price ish 

any information helps

Personally I wouldn't trust one of those cheap aftermarket wheels hitting a pot hole at high speed and not taking damage or failing completely.

I seem to recall that one of the bike mags ( PB or Practical Sportsbikes ? ) doing a test on this sort of wheel a few years ago. If I remember correctly they concluded that although they were ok , they did deform more in the event of a major impact rendering them irreparable. A little research should turn up the relevant article rather than take my recollection as gospel.

How much is a good secondhand OEM wheel? At least you'll know it'll fit properly, which in my experience with pattern parts is not always the case.

[gixermike]

well the oem wheels are about 200 or so but the can have discs too which helps 

thanks for confirming my doubts

200 plus on evilbay

Also a used wheel will have bearings and spacer, probably in usable condition.

i wont think about this one though lol 

[bunk]

Yup. China. Hard pass.

[rodneya]

I've had two Chinese front wheels that I bought without looking close enough that were not true.

I did use the chinese disk rotors off them, and they are not too bad

[baldrick]

ive got one, its fine

 

[BillyR]

I had one in the front of my old gsxr1000k5 due to buying it as a accident damaged bike.

Got me to south of france twice, with luggage,  and did a few sprints, not to mention the odd accidental wheelie, absolutely no problems.

[gixermike]

ok thank you all good advice 

[Duckndive]

Modern gsxr 750 & 1000 wheels fetch decent money 2nd hand due to demand from track day bods binning bikes 

[clivegto]

Good origanl second hand front ones are hard to find in my experience.
