WHERE CAN I GET A SET OF THESE?

well he says it a k0 cb750... could be a jap. only spec set of rims?
 
i had a thought this morning on my way into work... i know i've seen something similar on a bike before just couldn't think of what kind of bike it was... then ducati rang in my mind...

Suzuki GS550 wheels
 
hey, I can't see the vid at work, but I know a ton about the rims that von just linked, as I am building a GS and have searched high and low for these wheels! If you want an 18 inch front in that wheel! GOOD LUCK! You will need it and a deep wallet, becouse if you are lucky enough to find the 18 one in the pot at the end of a rainbow, the leprechaun that has it will not let it go cheap!

There are two different style wheels that are both similar, one set (earlier models) has no cut out in the top of the spokes and the brushed aluminum parts cross at the top, the other (later models) the brushed area does not cross and has a triangular cut out at the top of each spoke. The later ones only come in 19 inch fronts, 18 inch rears, I am not positive on the widths available in those wheels. The earlier ones came in the following sizes. Fronts 18x1.55; 18x1.75; 19x1.75; 19x1.85. Rears 18x1.75; 18x1.85. They cam on various GS models From the 1978-1983 GS400, GS425E, GS450E, GS450L, and maybe a couple more like the GS500's. The later models were from mostly the larger CC bikes so I would think they cam wider too.
The fronts in the 19" are easy to find and cheap, there most have been millions made, the 18's are like gold! Very hard to find and pricey, especially the 18x1.75's. Tires are hard to find in a sporty tire for a 19" inch wheel. Check out my Eileen thread (click it in my sig) and you can read a ton about my wheel and tire journies!

I may can answer more Q's about those wheels, just let me know if I can help!
 
OH I REALLY LIKE THE LATER STYLE ONES! THAT WAS REALLY THE ANSWER I WAS LOOKING FOR... THANKS!!! I'M LEAVING WORK NOW BUT IM GONNA PM YOU WITH A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS... THANKS AGAIN!!!
 
I know that Lester and Morris had cast wheels for the K bike and that kind of stuff is HAWT in Japan. My vote, especially looking at the rest of that bike are either of those wheels plus a possible Unity Equip. rim I seem to remember something about...

The rear brake backplate appears to have come right from Sochiro san's back room so I'd bet the rims are Honda spec but aftermarket.....
 
Oh, one more thing about the early ones from the suzuki GS's they were made by Enkei, and it is stamped on the wheels! I don't believe the later ones were or it is not stamped at least. I like the Enkei stamp on mine! ;)

Just so you know that second one was not from an 1100 as listed - it's single disc and pretty skinny - more likely off a 250.
 
Or an 83 GR650
