We just picked-up Dymag Carbon Fiber Wheels; any thoughts on these?

Hawt. How much?

weight? quality? parts interchangable with stock? price? any reviews?

They are 3230 a set, and use the stock rotor configuration. The rear sprocket is unique to Dymag as well (one is provided with the wheel). Dymag has always produced top-quality wheels. They have a good reputation for quality and durability. The Dymag carbon fiber wheels are 4.88 lbs for a 3.5” front and 7.1 lbs for a 5.5” rear for a total of about 12 lbs. These weights are based on the 3 spoke 5.5", but the 5 spoke wheels should be quite similar (even with the 6" rear).

great write up. good find. I'd be interested once I finish my suspension and get some money.

I think racers and trackdayer's should get an automatic goverment stimulus check (annually) for having an addiction that supports the economy. Does anybody know a Congressman?

I also hear religious groups are taken care of, too. Let start "Our Lady of the Asphalt." We shall prey, I mean pray at racetrack at least monthly, and be able to write-off the cost!

Damn, I'm an innovator!

Look purty, but pricey. I can hardly afford the gas I put in my bike much less some sweet trick wheels like that. But man would I love to have them.

i had an original set of dyemags, they were light and looked trick, but they leeked and took months for dymag to fix!!

the leaked air? did you try spinning the tire on the wheel? any idea what the cause was?

yes, it was the rim leeking, pin hole in the rim itself, they eventually fixed it after 2 attempts, but from what i understand they have improved their quality control and their process of building the rims. Mine were the origanal dyemags back in 2000.
