I've never heard of 18" GSXR wheels. What year had them?

[steve murdoch]

These look like GSXR wheels to me.

I think these are '86 wheels.
Halfway down the page in a sea of green.

The first gen GSXR's, 85 thru to 88 or so.

Yeahhhppp those are the ones!

Wow, never knew that. I figured the rear, but thought the front would have been a 16 or 17 incher. I had to look that up and found out the a new rear rotor is $600. Good gawd, is that thing made of platinum?

...rethinking a G model?

[limeex2]

What needs to be done to use these? Do the wheels bolt up or do you need spacers, brkts, brake calipers, discs, ect, ect?

[kochic]

I already had 1991 gsxr 1100 running gear on the gs since 2010, it was bolt on, not even 2 hours of work to swap everything.
The only thing that is not Suzuki is the offset 1/2'' front sprocket, the rest is just a mix of GS1000c, GS1100e and 1985 GSXR 750.
I really like the way the GS look with older-newer wheels but the 750 fork is a little too soft for my riding.
I will swap to a GSXR1100 1989 fork but I need first gen GSXR 1100 front rotors for the swap.With this swap I will need to change the front wheel bearings and have 3 spacers made.
You can see old pictures in my albums on my profile here.
Stuff from oil cooled gsxr are quite easy to fit on old GS.

Actually the cut off for 18" is '87...'88 starts the dual 17" rims.
