Do what I did, get a GT50 front hub and lace a 17" rim to it. With some fossicking round you can still find decent priced rims in the wreckers, then you need spokes and a friendly person with a spoke threading tool. The rear was built along the same lines, find a hub, I used a drum brake item, get a rim and lace it up. The end result was nice light wheels with OK size rims. Failing that try for a set of RS wheels, but as you mentioned price they may be a problem. You will have to piss around with mounting discs and getting caliper mounts made/modified. It can be a real pain unless you have access to a welder and machine gear.

Spoking the wheels sounds good... I already have one 17" rim but I'll have to count the spokes. I have an arc welder and bench grinder so that can take care of the brake offset in any case.

Dumb question: GT50? Suzuki, eh? How many spokes, or can I count them tomorrow?

You notice Ivan, we're still talking all over 'your' thread?
