There's some on Thiefbay at the moment, item# 261279628083.

My "S" came with a pair of cast road-bike wheels that had been made to fit but I couldn't tell you what they were off. I sold them on and put the dosh towards a 28lt Aqualine tank.

To be honest, a DRZ will happily scratch about on a set of road-biased tyres on the 18 / 21 rims. Ok, it won't flick around as easily as an SM would but if you get your weight right up front and muscle the thing down in the corners and it never wants for grip. I have three sets of wheels for my bikes; Maxxis Cross IT, Meffo Explorers and MT21s. Seems to take care of everything.

Cheers! i will have a look.

I just think it would be easier to swap the wheels over for supermoto then for green laning swap them back to my off road wheels and tyres.

I have knobbly's on and my god riding in the ride on the road is a bit worrying!

Do you know if them Wheels would fit direct?
it needs disc brake on both wheels by look of things, would my existing wheel spacers work? axle? speedo? i dont know much about these wheels and changing etc...

i dont want to buy and its impossible to get wheel spacers or something, don't see why they wouldnt work though?

To fit the DRZ SM wheels on an S, you'd need a bracket to move the front brake caliper to fit the bigger disk.

What I was suggesting was get another set of standard wheels and fit road tyres to them.
