as far as the 150 on the street... again... why? what is the goal here? do you just want fancy looking rims? if thats the case stop there. you want them because they look cool to you. but you keep mentioning performance... those wheels aren't for performance. not on this bike.Never mentioned wanting them for performance, nor to look cool. Actually id rather the other 4.5 rim he sells, but the single rear rim cost more than the set of vrossi's. I want a 2nd set of wheels so i dont have to go to the shop and change tires all the time. Its much easier for me to just swap wheels at home whenever i want. I dont want to invest in a tire changer and balancer yet, as i dont go through tires enough to justify it. I also DO like the look of a little wider tire on the rear.

tbh if i was in your situation, here is what i would do...

not buy a second pair of wheels.

put some rosso 2's on.

put new rosso 2's on before each track day.

end of story.
