So I was looking up lightweight sprockets on google and came across this. Rotobox cf wheels (I know not sprockets). I think bst sells cf rims, but here is a new (or at least new to me) brand I haven't heard of yet. Check them out.
Think they are actually more affordable then bst. Front for the 600rr is like $1400ish rear is around $23-2400 (Amazon pricing). I kind of like the look its different. the only bst wheels I like are with the straight spokes not the slanted design.

If I spend 3 to 4 K on wheels they better have some smoking looks plus function
For Miss O'Seven the CZ wheels (1800.00 ) I had on her were awesome the only issue I hated was keeping them smokes clean
I think many would agree that most people here and in general looking to purchase aftermarket wheels (or that already did) for their sport bikes whether they'd like to admit it or not, are not getting them for weight savings and less rotational mass to benefit from cutting down track times in races. You're getting them because you like how they look "bling factor" it's okay to admit, we already know. Unfortunately they may not realize that cbr 600rr wheels are some of the lightest stock wheels out there. I have the honor of comparing motorcycle rims everyday and very expensive one's at that. I think it's just stupid to unless you have a race bike that you could benefit from using them, especially for the cost. Your suspension is what should be set up before a lighter pair of wheels should be considered as a benefited handling characteristic. Then again, it's quite easy to tell who's getting aftermarket rims for looks alone on here and who isn't...

If someone gave me a set I wouldn't turn them down. But I would never pay that much for them. I can say though that after checking these out at last years IMS and comparing them to Aluminum Marchesinis; the difference in weight, especially in mass location is definitely noticeable. Not the prettiest wheels but they get the job done.
I would love to confirm that video but that isn't gonna happen anytime soon. Also, it looks like that guy swapping the wheel should have hit up Neek for some wheel spacers

I would love to own a set of carbon fibre wheels. Expensive yes, but for track use I bet they are awesome; offering faster turn in, better braking and stronger acceleration. I would personally have to go to quite some length to justify the cost but if I ever did I would probably go for a set from either Dymag or BST. That said I would rather spend the money on full Öhlins front and rear as I would benefit from that a lot more.

Thats what i ended up doing! All round ohlins was a far better investment than a set of blingy wheels which i doubt i would have noticed a difference with!

i think cutting your wheels unsprung rotational weight almost in half would be a very noticable difference in acceleration, cornering and braking!
but ya cant go wrong with the full ohlins treatment either!
that being said, those wheels are fugly look'n though!!
