Duc, you could give Andreas on the US site a try - CLICK
I've gotten bits off him in the past and he's very reasonable with his shipping costs. Very good chance he'll have everything you need. Just send him a PM through their site to contact him.

Hey Duc,

Shipping from the U S of A is a bit hit and miss.

I have had a brand new in the box front wheel shipped for US$60 through USPS. (total cost US$160)  then in the same day was quoted from a different seller US$300 to ship a back wheel through FEDEX. You'll just have to shop around.  The base price for a 16" rear wheel is between US$20  to US$90.  Some sellers refuse to ship to Oz, you'll just have ask them.

To buy a standard wheel here if you can find one is upwards of $200 from a wrecker.  Parts are getting more rare so the states is your best bet.

Hey Duc,
Take your time and things will come together. For what it's worth, I'd recomend the swap to anyone who's wanted a bit of extra squirt off the line. My son's got a ZX10 and it's rarely he gets off the lights to me.

Mind you, for the record, we don't together as much a we would like

Thanks for the link and advice guys. I really wanted to source one locally first but it seems that wont happen. Gonna see how much shipping from the states is with these bulky items then..yikes

Hi Duc, chances are of finding one in OZ -  nearly nil. Best bet is the states. If possible, get the matching brake caliper torque arm which you need to get the caliper in alignment with the disc, short of that, be prepared to do some experimentation with spacers to get the caliper to sit over the disc properly.Other than that, it'll bolt straight in.

Fair bit of info here - CLICK

Hi all,

Im looking to do a conversion from my 17" standard to 16" rear wheel. That said, if anyone has the parts in questions they want to sell. Let me know.

Thanks,

Duc
