Hi Chris ,
Got them from ebay mate.They were on there for a couple of months being sold by "Hills". I paid �500 for both wheels,tyres (new) and discs which i thought expensive at the time. If i think about it now and break it all down in price i suppose it isnt that bad. I did miss out on a set of wheels with no tyres that went for �57 each wheel but they were very shabby so im glad i got beat on the bidding.
If you want to buy them brand new your looking at alot of money Chris, I think they are around �1100 - �1200. Heres a link to them - http://www.off-the-road.de/xt660_fah...eder.html?&L=1 I find this website/dealer very expensive though but they have pretty much everything for the XT660 models.
If you want some advise Chris if you see any wheels on ebay id grab them quick with both hands, you dont see second hand ones for sale that often.Saying that tho there is a guy called Adam that uses this forum (not to often) that has a set for sale for �250 with tyres.Might be worth giving him a PM to see if he still has them.Let me know if you want to contact him and ill fish out his user name for you as i cant remember it off hand.
Give me a shout if you need any help when you decide to do the modification and ill help out as best i can via this forum or phone.
All the best.
Gav

Cheers gav! sound advice, yea i think ill give him a shout! hopefuly he will still have them. Even at slow speeds now im riding my R right on its limmits. you should see the state of my right hand foot peg from going round roundabouts! also I ride in all weather and my wheels are the most nerve racking thing ive ever used in the wet!

Hope to hear from you soon!

Thanks again chris
