    nope. 16.5 is not a recognised tyre size by EU type regs, hence why the desmo road bike didnt have em when sold.

    Not only that, but there is loads of 16.5's going to be up for sale soon, as WSBK are switching back to 17" wheeds in 2013, and BSB not long after.

    Are magnesium wheels still prone to corrosion? (iron content)
