I know BST makes wheels for the DB7 but don't know of any other company. Does anyone know of any

I guess Dymag might do as they cover most Bimota's.
However what is the reason to replace them ? I know someone that replaced standard DB7/8 wheels with BST's to find the only thing lighter was his wallet as the BST's and forged DB7 wheels were near as damn it the same weight !!!

Seriously doubt the stock wheel is as light, but the reason is the the wheel bearing will not remain in place. For some reason the spaces which hold the bearings are wore allowing the bearings to wobble and move around. I had one bearing disintegrate while riding.

Not weighed them myself but I know the DB7 owner was well pissed off when he found his £3k had saved him grams not kilo's as he expected.

dymag does not make any wheels for the DB7. It seems like the 5 spoke BST wheels are the only make available and they are not to my taste. I was able to use the original wheel
