Hmmm...don't know.

I was thinking about Marchessinni wheels but I don't know if they make them my 2008 Speedy. They are distributed through Lockhart Phillips. The Lockhart rep said they do since they own Brembo ( my brakes ) and it was no problem. I did not see my year available on the charts. I saw them at the San Mateo show and they are awesome. The rep said the aluminum ones are available for the Speed Triple for $1700. He said the difference is a couple of pounds of weight but the Magnesium version is $3300 and fragile. Big difference.

You can do a search on this forum for the other manufacturers and see what makes other Triumph owners happy.

Give EMA-USA a call & see what they can do in PVM for you

These guys are really close to my house!

They also do BST & Marchesini but don't think that $1700 budget is realistic
