    Was going to buy OZ wheels but I do like Galespeed and Active parts from Japan . Amazing quality parts ! Don't know anyone else apart from Arthurbikemad who uses Galespeed or Active parts .

    Very smart them Kev, looking forward to seeing them on the bike. Do you know how much weight you'll be saving with them?

    NICE! Love mine on my XJR, even a big bike with 230Kg was transformed with my type G, they are a quality wheel and don't get enough recognition in the UK, proper drop forged CNC wheel! Had a customers that had the rim bent in to the hub, not many wheels you can heat and roll out like these! Shows they are made from top quality materials, be my pleasure to fit the tyres for you mate :)
