Carbon wheels sound good until you do your research. Good if you're a professional racer with a sponsor who'll pay for them and replace them after "X" number of races. BAD for a street rider on a budget who has to deal with typical urban and suburban roads with their pot holes, bumps and other debris. Even worse if you beat on them off-road...
I've definitely done research; considered the change to my Oz Racing wheels on my Aprilia. I've not heard of people having to swap out just because of X races or hitting a pot hole. Feel like I've actually read quite the opposite. I can't be bothered to go grabbing links though since I didn't specify I'm interested in low cost wheels to begin with. I specifically called out a known wheel manufacturer that costs at least $1,500 per wheel. Good custom wheels aren't cheap. My set of Oz Racing wheels are almost 20 years old and still worth $800 easy, $1000 if you wait.
So, again, just looking for information regarding people on their Zero 2013+ that have utilized custom wheels. I don't care about the budget.
