Default Re: Carbon Fibre Wheels. Insane project...

Yeah, new GSXR stuff will go on.

You right anyway, curvy ones do look better. Not sure they look like a sportsbike though!

You bothered about steering lock?

For me, with your budget I would go for K4/5 GSXR 600/750 front end entire, revalve it and the carbon wheel for the same model should fit.

For the rear, no question, use penske. 8983 is brilliant, 8987 a little better (not sure how much, as I have not tried mine yet).
For your rear wheel, late model GSXR stuff may work. However the SV uses a quite narrow chain offset. You need to reduce the offset from the GSXR. The problem you will probably run into is the fancy aftermarket stuff does not have any meat on it (hence so light!) so you can't just hog material off to line the chain up.
