wheel compatibility
« on: July 04, 2022, 12:53:42 pm »
this is a shot in the dark question..googled til my eyes got sore rang motorworks...googled some more.
will the wheels of an r9t fit a r1200rt? anyone know or tried?
i bought a r1200rt, nice low mileage emergency services on with slight damage and want to put wire wheels on it, this is not straightforward.
i think there was a wire wheel option for the r1200rt-p (proper title) but i can't seem to come across any.
any ideas guys?

You could go to https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/select?product=M&archive=0 and check out the part numbers.
As I have grown older, I've learned that pleasing everybody is impossible, but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

thats absolutely brilliant, been on various sites trying to get part numbers for wheels they were selling... headache inducing. i believe unless i'm badly mistaken (quite possible) this is exactly what i'm looking for!! cheers toml.

after searching for ages, this is not telling me what i want. perhaps its not a runner but i'm thinking part numbers are covering not only fitment but castalloy or steel, design, even colour so perhaps this is not the way to go... still useful for loads of stuff but not..i think.. in this case.
so back to the start, anyone changed the front wheel (back seems straight forward) from an r1200rt or similar to a different bmw rim?
