Would any of y'all be interested in a set of forged magnesium/aluminum wheels for our bike in the stock sizes or otherwise? I'm talking to a guy to source wheel blanks so I can manufacture my own wheels and was wondering if there would be a market for the same. I'm assuming it would be cheaper than the big name wheels, but I'll only know when I actually make a set and see how much it costs to machine. The first set I make will be forged magnesium, as that's all the supplier has in stock right now. I know all about anodizing aluminum and have a plant for the same at my dad's factory, but I know pretty much nada about magnesium, so it's going to be a learning curve for me. I'm thinking of manufacturing 4 sizes 3" & 3.5" fronts and 4"& 4.5"(maybe a 5) rears, only for small sport bikes like the Ninja 250/300, CBR250/300, Duke/RC 125/200/390 and Yamaha R25/R3.
