i don't know if you realise but if you ride on the road most aftermarket lightweight wheels only come in 16.5" rims and a lot of road tyres are 17".

They do lightweight wheels for all or most bikes on the market, & they are original sizes unless you request different.

i have seen a zxr at a race meeting using brembo wheels. these he tells me came from a ducati 851/888. the rear runs a bigger 180 size tyre. that looks good and gives a better choice of tyres. he claims to have had to change the spacers and bearings to make them fit, but may be cheaper than buying new wheels :smt017 if you can find anyone breaking a duke.

We have two zxr400 race bikes, one has Dymags and the other Marvic pentas. The Dymags being the lighter, £831+ vat.
By the way ' Bikerz' prolite discs are heavier than standarde Kawasaki fitment, if the weight saving was the objective :smt017
