Wheel Options to work with my new Brembo 6-piston Monobloc 355mm brakes ??

I just discovered that I now "NEED" new wheels for my track work
because the "direct bolt on" Brembos require a larger (19") wheel to
clear the caliper.

Any ideas suggestions would be appreciated and I would be interested
in used wheels if anyone knows of any.

BTW: I now have factory Hollow Spokes for sale with R6 Hoosiers on them
as well as a set of Bridgestone S02A's. (will separate)


Thanks,

Marty K.

Spencer is infamous around these parts
Are you sure they require a 19"?

General rule of thumb I've used is a 332mm will clear a 17", 355mm will clear 18" and 380mm will clear 19".
