Supermoto wheels $$$$

**canuckwr250** · 04-20-2012, 07:46 PM

Well I cant seem to find any used sets of smr wheels,and all the places that I could get a decent set of rims a little cheaper are all in the US.Im going to have to bite the bullet and buy some KTM smr wheels for around $1.233 otd. I also emailed Pete at supermoto specialties and by what I got out of his email is that he is kinda in between shops and does'nt have any wheels in stock for my budget.There are warp9 wheels with brakes and sprocket for $899. in the US but im afraid with shipping and duties I will end up paying more than I will at GP bikes.

Can anyone suggest some tires for some street but mostly track use?

Thanks
Fred

I suggest Bridgestone 090's on a light bike. I did a trackday on Kneedragger's FZR400 on them. Fast warmup, and kneedragging sticky. No idea how they last.

It is much easier if you have a friend in the US to ship to. Saved me a bunch on getting dirt rims for my DRZ.

Have you tried Tony at Blue Streak Racing? He doesnt really specialize in SM, but he beat everyones price on Marchensins for me...Same price as online stores, but tax included and shipped to my door...Pretty much the usual deal with him, he seems to meet or beat everyone on everything I ask him for..

Thanks I will try to get a hold of him before making the purchase at GP.

I see you already got your wheels but in future if you want to buy new or used in the US than use http://www.cbiusa.com/ I have ordered all kinds of KTM parts for my bike and had them shipped there. Its so simple .Its literally 3 mins form the border. You dont even have to tell CBI you are shippping to them and its only a 90 min drive from Toronto. So far in the three times I have done this I have never had to pay any duty or tax at the border. It goes like this. Cross border and explain where you are going, return 30 minutes later and declare "Motorcycle parts and value" Every time border guard has waved me through. Last time the border guard asked me where I was coming from. I said CBI and he said oh was it busy there today ? They are used to us Canadians trying to save some cash.
