Well it has been over 9 weeks and still no wheels. doesn't look like mine will ever show up. Out $260 and I missed the first race weekend. Now I need to find at least a good stock front wheel as mine was bent. Anybody want to by some brand nedw BT003s? 120 60 17 and 150 60 17 size.

What states of the US did you ship to around the same time? Might be some difference depending on what port the wheels arrived. I would assume the West Coast like Los Angeles, CA. Oh well. |

Since I'm in Los Angeles, I'm hoping, hoping, that the shipping won't take more than eight weeks. I want to finish modding my daughter's Ninja before she gets back from studying abroad in Italy.

I got them today. They look ok except for some scratches and one little chip out of the rear wheel but should still be 100% useable. I figured all my complaining would get the Postal Gods attention. Thanks! They look cool. |

finally got my setup all done with the vrossi wheels, metzler m3 tires, new all balls wheel bearings, 44 rear sprocket, DID gold chain +2 links so the tire doesn't rub. they look sweet!
one thing i would recommend everyone does is order the front/rear factory hub spacer (the spacer that sits between the 2 wheel bearings). the ones that come with the wheels are weak/thin metal and the diameter is bigger than the axle, so there is a possibilty they will tear the inner seal off the bearing. will post pics soon |

Waiting is DEFINTELY Worth it!!!
I received the wheels right at 8 weeks, May 31. But, I'm still waiting for the swing arm cover/hugger, which were shipped separately.
For the wheel's overall price, I couldn't be any happier. These wheels are first rate for their price point. Some may gripe about the wheels finish or whatever, but they fail to remember the overall cost . . . they are inexpensive! If you've been to the races, you'd see many high dollar magnesium wheels with a rougher cast. The lil' Ninja now has a current AMA Superbike or World Superbike look with the wheel's aggressive swept 6-spokes. Definitely a nice aesthetic transformation. Especially, I now have a wider range of sticky tire choices to choose from, which is the main reason I wanted a wider rear rim. It wasn't to fit the biggest and baddest rear tire. BTW, I chose the Bridgestone BT003, 110/70 and 150/60. I'll post pics soon. Thanks Andy for wheels!!!

Ask yourself: how soon do I want them, how much am I willing to spend? My personal rule of thumb is not spending more on shipping than the item. I was happy to wait the 8 weeks.

Two weeks after the wheels arrived (at 10 weeks), I received the swing arm cover and hugger. All parts were carefully prepared for the surface journey, mostly by ship. This completes the lil' Ninja's order and I'm very happy to say it was a pleasure to deal with Andy.
Thanks again Andy!! I hope you'll offer more products for the lil' Ninja in the near future!!

Thanks for positive feedback mate.. surprise to know those lighter package get there slower.. LOL.
As for Nicole, go for the cheaper shipping option, as all this aftermarket stuff are just like icing on the cake, it's great to own one.. but our ninja still can run even without one

Here is a pic with the wheels and the swing arm cover / hugger (more pics later) . . . the overall look becomes more aggressive with the aftermarket additions. I like it! So does my daughter!!!

My 2 cents

I'm very nit-picky with attention to details. The wheels are excellent, especially with its price point and with their current WSBK/MotoGP looks (as opposed to the cross-spoke design). Unless my wheel set was a fluke, I couldn't be any happier. The only suggestion is to replace the wheel bearings with OEM. But the wheels' standard aftermarket bearings would do just fine.
