WTB: 17" Rear Wheel

[ScottieDucati]

OK guys, I've seen Delvic 17" wheels for short $$ on eBay... is this the most cost effective way to get a 17" wheel here in the US?? I'd be very interested in a Magnesium (Dymag or other) rear if one is available, but I only need the rear as I've opted to go with a 600RR (03, so non-USD) front end for performance + keeping true to the looks and a 600RR front wheel is pretty easy to get.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Yep, but be sure to clean up the powdercoating that is in the drive pin holes and center hole also, there are no counter sinks for the drive pin shoulders, which are nice to have and easily done.

Thanks Dale, any other options out there?

A proper RVF wheel - second hand for £150 ish.. supposed to be slightly lighter than the Delkevuc.

Another swerveball option - get a Hub conversion form Rick Oliver and fit a VFR750 5 spoke rim.

Think they are 17*5 though so some chain line fettling might be in order. no idea what they weigh..

See the VFR for sale by Challymo in the sale section, he has one, also Riley too.

Or...get Michael Ruehl to split his PVM wheels.

You could also post a wanted on BARF, the center of the US nc30/35 universe. AFM runs a 400/450 class, so loads of vfr/rvf guys there.
also forum member (barf and here) "Yack" usually has stuff for sale in LA.

+1 for Rick Oliver, he is "the" source for many things :)

Got Michael's handle on here or contact info?

I'm pretty sure with some spacer work an NC-30 wheel could fit on the RR front end....
