I completely forgot about Speedzilla. Thank you.
I checked out aftermarket wheels and found some, but even used, I was looking at $1200 for the set. That's ~3 times what I paid for the bike.
I do have a nice set of RC Component wheels sitting next to the work bench, but they require spacers to be made, and the rear wheel doesn't have a cush drive. I'm looking at adapting a cush drive from a Ducati, but this all takes time. The RC51 wheel is a bolt on to the '07 CBR1000RR front end that matches the 6 spoke CBR900RR rear wheel.
Whenever I get to installing the RC Component wheels, I can sell the RC51 6 spoke front wheel.

I have found several RC51 Sp1 six spoke front wheels for sale, but they are in the UK, South America, and even the Isle of Man. Shipping would be a killer. That's why I'm happy you found these.
