    Thats not the same as the 8 spoke wheel off 3rd gen VFR's that'll bolt on your 02 VFR. Note the large hole for single center nut in the ebay listing. Pretty sure the 3rd Gen rear wheel was aluminum & is much cheaper.

    I totally overlooked that, thanks for pointing it out. What bike would those wheels fit on?

    Very limited edition RC30. Made only a few years in small numbers for Supersport & Superbike racing. Cost somelike $15000 when new back in 89-90. They pop up on ebay every so often for $25-$30000 these days. Could also be off of an RC 45 which is even more rare & expensive.

    Last set that surfaced went for about $1500.

    Out of my league.

    Recent "rescue" bike. Long story short, there was a lot of deferred maintenance. But the magnesium wheels made it worth it. And an upgraded shock (RaceTech), including a little bump in ride height.
    Brakes are de-linked. Added high mount exhaust. Came with PCIII and Sargent seat (but prefer the stock seat for my short legs). The bike turns effortlessly. Straight rate 1.0 kg/mm springs up front.
