Oz because as Duh Luv said, they're lighter. I saw something somewhere (maybe on this site?) that listed a variety of wheels by type--Al, Mg, carbon fiber---and had prices, weights, and maybe something on strength. I will try to find and post if I can, but the result of it was I decided that Oz were the ones to get (for Al).

Ask and you shall receive....though this is mostly stock wheels. It might be the page you're looking for.....

If I get another DSS bike, I'll stick to Alpina . . . I might be biased . . . http://alpinawheelsusa.com/

I don't do track since there are NO tracks in Panama, love the looks of them on my bike and, why not Marvic, http://www.yoyodyneti.com/Category.aspx?CategoryID=2754

or Galespeed, http://www.acv.co.jp/01_product_en/galespeed_w_en.html

or

PVM Wheels, http://www.pvm.de/en/wheels/

Thanks! So based on that and some info from Dub Luv on that same page, I would be dropping ~9.5 lbs from my wheels (5 back, 4.5 front)!!

So back to OP: what am I looking at for labor $$ on wheel/tyre replacing, ballpark?

Not sure what bike you have but when I had my S2R, I had OZ wheels on them and loved them. They will completely transform the bike and the riding experience. Get ready for a lot of Grin

's. They are super light and look fantastic on the bike. When I did mine, I put new rubber, chain and rear sprocket, and brake calipers and called it a day. Wish I had the foresight to do the swingarm as well. PVM's are rare and would look good as well. I just had too hard of a time sourcing them from a US distributor finding a international distributor to respond. March. also has a 7 spoke wheel that might look sexy on a SSS bike, but I can't remember what they are called (Paging Raux - think he listed them on the forum a while back when the announcement was made).

Here's what they look like in real life -

Those classics are very "Campy". Too bad I don't have a Pantah anymore. Cool

Nothing for an M796, right? If they did, I'd have to find my ski mask. Grin

i have nothing useful to add to this thread, but I like the oz's i had on my last subaru!

also, if you've got a red bike, i'm pretty sure the reseller's contractually obligated to sell you the gold, and only the gold wheels.

dont worry, it'll look sweet. waytogo

I have a yellow bike, so the gold will work perfectly. But I agree, gold on red somehow works nicely. Wink

Anyone able to suggest how much $$ for labor? Or powdercoating DSS?
