Do you know that if you find or fit DB5R Oz racing wheels then you also have to change the billet alloy chain sliders...the 3 bolt connection billet swingarm pieces and the spindle and the spacers and the rear caliper hanging bracket...all of which are no longer available/////….The DB5R and Oz wheels uses a larger spindle than the standard DB5.....I would thus say your only option is buying new bespoke BST or Dymag Carbon wheels |

Hello
Thanks for the Info about the R Wheels ....... so it is better to search the BST Wheels ( It looks fine for me , cause i have a late Bimota Prototyp Carbon Swingarm ) |

Yes...in a word....finding someone selling Oz wheels with a straight fit ..Well...I have never seen any for sale...people want to put them on...not take them off...And as there is no more Bimota factory ...and no spares...the chain sliders, spindles etc that you would need are not available......Dymag and BST will both make bespoke wheels which if you provide sizes will fit as a straight replacement....IMHO...Dymag are straight fit using all original spindles, discs, spacers etc.....they provide the cush drive and rear sprocket.....BST...sometimes theres an issue and you have to have some spacers made to get the correct fit |

Its only the DB5R Oz gold 5 spokes that have a different wheels spindle diameter. Larger which can easily be either sleeved down or bearings changed but its the rear brake brkt assy that will cause real issues , wheel assy is narrower and hence rear disc offset different on the gold OZ.
The later black Oz Piega /Marvic/DB6R or DB7 mulit-spokes are all direct fit.
Obviously the major issue is actually finding any second hand Bimota forged wheels. Will probably be cheaper/easier buying new |

Not sure if these will be of interest.
Pair of generic Oz 5 spoke wheels I bought once when I was thinking of lightening a DB5 before I found a 5R to buy.
Rear is brand new never been fitted , front is used.
