Think Malc bought one...?
ALso, seeing as Graeme sells them..I''ll bet they are good enough. I am tempted by one in the future but not yet...

I got one from Graeme France not long after they became available. Can't
fault the quality and finish, but one small problem I had with it was once
it was on the bike it was very tight (had to bash it off with a soft-faced
mallet!) to get it off again. It turns out the four holes into which the
drive pins go were slightly off in their positions. I had to open them out
very slightly (was just under 1mm) with a drillbit, and since then its been
perfect. Also, there was a fair bit of powder-coat in the big hole in the
middle which I had to knife off before fitting it, but at least that was
obvious.
Overall, I would recommend them if you are struggling to find an OE one at
a reasonable price.

thats a similar problem i had and why i was checking to see if anyone on here had got a wheel before and if they experienced anything like i had or was i just unlucky(the story of my life lol)
all in all i think the wheels are great and am still happy i have it and like malc says,if your finding it hard to get an o.e. one get one of these
cheers for the help before malc

You guys just got the wheel "to suit RVF400", right?
I'm in discussion with the Australian rep, and he wants me to check the casting no. in my OEM NC30 wheel, so they can confirm the fitment is the same, before giving me a price. Seems strange that they wouldn't know from their own info...
If anyone has an NC30 wheel (or NC35, or both) sitting off the bike, can you check what numbers are cast on the inside of the spokes please? It's supposed to be near where it says 'HONDA' or 'ENKEI' or the model or something. The example he quoted me was only a few digits long, with a couple each of numbers and letters.

Delkevic australia - "delkevic.com.au"
He gave me his mobile number and the voicemail said "you have reached Phil of Delkevic Knee Braces..." that's a moto-cross armour thing they do... a bit small scale, perhaps?
Are the front wheels the same, between NC30 and 35?

Yeah mate, all the honda front wheels on that site are the same fitment.
That's a pretty good price for the rears, 2nd hand genuine go for more.
