Have a look see on www.supermotoforum.co.uk

I would say that £500 was a fair price to pay for some quality SM wheels.Talon hubs and Excel rims with tyres and discs/sprockets do not come cheap so expect to have to pay more than £500 for some good condition stuff.Then have a look at some ex-race stuff for less.The scratched up rims would add some street-credibility.

Buy a pair of standard hubs. You can get rims and spokes cheaply, and lace your own.

It's time consuming, and you'll spend ages chasing loose spokes around. I found it easiest with the wheel on the bike with a cable tie with the tang close to the rim so you can see runout.

Never tried to lace mine, I imagine that would be a right ball ache!

To me, I nice set of excel rims and talon hubs are worth the money.
