JB-Power Magtan JB4 Magnesium wheels

[lola_imp]

After a month and a half wait the wheels arrived from Takashi at Samurider.

Cost is 350.000 japanese yen shipped to your door and they are made to order . the Wheels are well packaged from JB-Power that it could withstand almost any abuse by most shipping companies, attention to detail is top notch.

The wheels itself is a thing of beauty made out of AZ80 magnesium, wheel paint is outstanding and the non painted surface of the wheel is done with anti corrosion coating. Bearings are made by Koyo Japan the rear sprocket carrier,front & rear rotor carriers are machined with precision. Also, the Rear sprocket is included and is made out of aluminum as far as the color it looks anodized goldish zinc . They will ask you if you want to change sprocket size but i stuck with the 39tooth sprocket.

Front Wheel Size= 3.00-18
Rear Wheel Size = 4.50-18

I was going to dismount the tires from stock wheels but decided to leave them alone and use them as back up so I do not have the weights of the stock wheels. I do however have weight comparison between the wheels & tires of both the magtan & Stock .

Front wheel magnesium with bearings & spacers = 6.4lbs
Rear wheel magnesium with bearings & spacers= 8.9lbs

Stock wheel & tire front with bearings and spacers= 24.5lbs
JB Magtan wheel & tire front with bearings and spacers=17.9lbs

Stock wheel & tire Rear with bearings & spacers= 28.8lbs
JB Magtan wheel & tire Rear with bearings & spacers=23.5lbs

Stock Rear sprocket & Stock Carrier= 6.2lbs
