A few years ago I tried contacting custom wheel suppliers to see if they would be willing to manufacture a set of alloy mags for the 961. Renegade Wheels, Performance Machine, Coastal Moto and others. They make CNC manufactured alloy mags for Harleys from forged alloy blanks. The wheels are very strong and much lighter than the laced alloy wheels on the 961’s. I was looking to get a set of 70’s classic 7 spoke Morris Mag styled 17” wheels. Most of the manufactures weren’t interested in developing the CNC code to cut 1 set of wheels for me, and they doubted that there was much of a market for 961 wheels elsewhere.
I think I was quoted a price of $8,500 for a set from RC Components. I would have to furnish my 961 to them for inspection and measurements. Needless to say, I still have the stock wheels on my 961.
