Default Wheel question

I am thinking of going with the Polished Spun aluminum disk wheel on my 07 SG

However, its a clear application for an 00-07 Touring front, but if you look at the application, it says 00-06 for the rear.

Is an 06 different than an 07 rear wheel? Thanks in advance

43760-03

Aftermarket, forged, chrome wheels are a better bet. Think about staging up to 18's with Metzlers. Better wheel, great look & easy to clean with much improved ride and handling over Dunlops.

I agree too, but I am on a self-imposed budget of about 1200 bucks total, too many big dollar toys, so it rules tires out for now, and I dont think I can even get close with a set of aftermarket wheels.

I didnt realize that these needed to be maintained, I may just go 9 spoke cast chrome. My biggest concern is getting to a tubeless wheel, but I dont really like the stock SG setup.

I am not thrilled with the 9 spokes, but they look pretty good and meet the budget and need

To answer your question, yes. The rear is way different than the front

I wasnt asking if the front and rear were different,

The polished wheels say the front fits 00-07
The rear fits 00-06

My question is, is an 06 rear different than an 07 rear? I though all 00+ were the same

However, another question, do those Ebay wheels use the stock rotors and pulleys? They look like a great deal

I run RC Vega's. The MC wheels are top quality, they supply most of the blanks to RC & PM.
