Looking for Cast (mag) rims '08 r1200 GS (front and Rear) I'm told that previous years (at least back to 2005 or earlier will work) also need front disks, let me know what you have and price. Any suggestions for other applications also appreciated! Thanks to all who reply!

The rims back to '04 will fit. But the ABS ring and the (if present) RDC valves do not fit. Therefore, if you buy the pre '08 rims you need to obtain these parts, too.

To my opinion the rims until '07 are better. They are manufactured in Germany by BBS, a renowned company for us. The later ones come from China, they weigh together about 2 kg more.
