Hello what would you buy between these wheels BST CF 7 spoke mamba wheels or the OZ GASS 5 Spoke wheels used on WSBK bikes and some MotoGP bikes.

Thanks for your input.

What colors are available? As far Gloss and Matte finish?

Definitely I'll stay with Clear or Matte finish. But I still like OZ wheels I would like to know more about performance between the 2 brands.

Bst wheels are so played out. They have been the same forever. I'd go Oz everyday twice on Sunday. Only bst I would consider are the new ones. Hell I'd consider rotobox over old bst. Thays just me

Check the Captiva or as you said Gass. Look at double 0 bike he has the checa wheels painted so hot. Checa are basically Captiva and Gass but Captiva are magnesium while the others are forged. The mamba 7 spoke have been out so long but it's your bike don't let me sway you

Yes I agree on the BST CF to old but they still look good. I like the OZ as well these 2 sets are available right now. The OZ Magnesium Captiva requires 6 to 8 weeks to get from Italy. I like the Carlos Checa limited edition but is silver.
I was considering Marchesini Mag wheels 10Y spoke. Black are out of stock only available gold. I don't like gold wheels on my Panigale. My point of view.
BST and Marchesini mag wheels are in the same price range. The OZ are a little cheaper. So is a though decision to make.

I went with the OZ GASS RS-A wheels. Somewhat more understated than the BSTs and beautifully finished, IMHO.

I would say OZ. I bought Marchesini Forged Magnesium for my Hyper SP and they noticeably heavier than the OE Forged Aluminum Marchesini chicken feet wheels. The chicken feet are obviously a much more refined design as far as weight optimization. I'm guessing the OZ's are even more so.

They are hard to get they are like 6-8 weeks wait time.

Thanks I appreciate your input.

They are both forged but one is Mag and the other is AL.

I agree the BST design is dated and I would go with the OZ Captiva or Gass or Marchesini Genesi. All depends on if you want to spend more for CF or Mag for weight loss or if weight is not your primary concern then save the $$$ and go with forged AL.

Genesis will be the way to go not available for 1199's or 1299's since they have a single sided swing arm.

Thanks.

That's right....Genesi is only available for WSBK guys. I have them on my RSV4.
