    5.1kg is heavy for a front wheel, average weight for a decent set of wheels aluminium type is 8.5kg from looking around for comparisons

    Ah so 10.2 kg I don't think will make a lot of difference for wets with a slower pace

    Still think they have the weight of the front wrong though or if that is the weight the rear is wrong

    Bought my fairings from that seller. Don't think I would buy wheels if he uses the same supplier as he does for the fairings.

    How much are a genuine used set of 12+ wheels going for these days....£600 or less? I think they'd look awesome in white on the 12 HRC. If there's only a couple of hundred quid or so after Shipping and import then it's got to be genuine surely?

    If you can get a 2012 set of wheels for anywhere even near £600 mate give me a shout would you :)

    Those go for decent money

    12 wheels are around £800 -£1000 and they don't come about very often
