Im not a fan of the 3 spoke wheels I have on my '05. I have noticed Yamaha makes nice 5 spoke wheels for the R1. Can I swap my OEM rims for the Yamaha 5 spokes? Will it effect the ride? What is involved in the process? Am I better off looking at aftermarket rims? Please help me.
Thank you for your time

custom spacers, axles, bushings, rotors, machined wheels and rotors... after all the custom work that needs to be done, unless you have a mill in your garage, will cost more than a low budget.

i looked into it to.. keyword = LOOKED.
aftermarket rims get ready to spend about $2200 atleast. Its rediculous if you ask me.
