White looks great on blue!

[How is it used?
Installed on ZrX1200DAEG. Now I'm using it for city riding and Touring Main.

Was the one you received as per Image?
To be honest, I didn't expect the quality of the paintwork to be very good, because Spoke has a complicated shape and has an inset, but in a good way, I was disappointed. I'm happy with the perfect finish, no unevenness in color, no shading, no yuzu skin, etc.
You will be surprised at the weight of it when you take it in your hands. It is not Tire, so it is not surprising that the weight is light compared with OEM.

Was the installation difficult?
There was a reassembly replacement of the Tire so I left the installation to the Shop.

How was your experience with it?
In my personal opinion, I could feel a clear difference. The push-pull is lighter and the steering is lighter, or rather the front end feels sharper. At the time of the exchange, I was awkward because it was too different from the conventional leaning timings.
The lighter wheel mass may have weakened the GYRO effect and made it easier to lean.

I knew when I chose the white color that I would have to clean it more often, but the dirt on the brake dust is much quicker than I expected. In the touring of consecutive nights, it is almost a color of the:It's so noticeable that it looks gray. LOL!

[Included Parts:were they on?
Instruction Manual and Warranty.

[Was there anything that disappointed you?
None in particular

Other items that would be helpful
Since the standard Air Valve direction is vertical, it's easier to get air into the car if you add a horizontal option.
The Aluminum Wheel is an expensive product, so I hope that they will adopt the horizontal Valve as standard. View detail
