A great set of custom wheels sets a boring bike apart from a very cool one, making it easily the most important mod you can put on your two-wheeler.

A cool set of custom wheels on your bike can be the difference between an everyday motorcycle and an eye-catching ride. With so many materials and designs to choose from, shopping for the perfect set of wheels can be a daunting task. Most of the custom wheels available in the market are made from forged aluminum or magnesium, which offers more strength while being lighter than cast wheels.

The most technologically advanced wheels, however, are those made from carbon fiber. So if you are obsessed with customizing your bike, and have decided to treat it to a touch of class and beauty all perfectly forged into a set of high-performance wheels, then you are at the right place. Here, we have made a selection of the coolest custom wheels that you will find on the market today. Check out our list and make your choice.

Made of unique military-grade carbon fiber, the Rotobox Bullet has the looks, strength, and lightness to make your bike stand out whether in your driveway or on the blacktop. To increase resistance to impact, stainless steel wire is integrated into the sides of the rim.

The aluminum alloy pentagon-shaped hub is permanently fused to the carbon rim and allows for maximum torque transmission. A special coating is applied to protect your wheels from ultraviolet radiation.

The monocoque design with five slanted hollow split spokes makes the carbon fiber BST Rapid TEK very light yet strong. Since most of the weight is concentrated in the hub, there is a reduction in rotating mass. Because of this, you will enjoy quicker acceleration, braking, and more agility when negotiating those corners.

Even if you damage your rim, you won't have to replace the whole wheel - you can salvage the hub and use it again. Now, that's a great money saver.

Do you want your bike to accelerate and brake faster? Or maybe, you want better traction and quicker handling for better cornering capability; then the Marchesini M10 is definitely for you. The distinctive 10-spoke Y-shaped design is both bold and eye-catching.

Made either from multi forged and heat-treated aluminum or magnesium, both of which are lighter than OEM cast aluminum, it gives more stiffness and increases the overall performance. Traction is also increased since the suspension has less weight to handle.

The Rotobox Boost is produced using a unique combination of carbon, epoxy, and stainless steel. Although thinner, the elegantly designed five spokes are stiffer thanks to the strategically positioned structural ribs. With added strength from the incorporated stainless steel wires, the sides of the rims are more resistant to impacts.

With a high-quality aviation-grade aluminum hub permanently fixed to the carbon rim for more strength, you can trust your Rotobox Boost to deliver in terms of strength, reliability, and performance.

Made of plastically deformable aluminum alloy through closed die forging, the 7-spoke Genesi M7R is classy and aggressive. With a highly advanced design that makes it up to 40% lighter than standard wheels and other forged aluminum wheels, it is highly reliable and unique in performance.

A pair of the Genesi M7R on your bikes will allow you to accelerate quicker and corner faster and more precisely. For safety, an anti-slip paint finishing is used to prevent accidental separation of the tire from the rim.

For added strength, the RBX2 has a rib on each side of the spokes, a stainless steel wire inserted in each side of the rim, and a CNC machined aviation-grade aluminum alloy hub fused to the carbon rim. In addition to the reduced weight, performance is further enhanced by the elliptical shape of the five spokes, which improves aerodynamics during rotation.

The Rotobox RBX2 should be your preferred choice if you want a wheel that is ideal for a comfortable sports bike.

For those that prefer a timeless look, the state-of-the-art forged aluminum Classic Steve with ten spokes is a contemporary version of a classical laced wheel. As is the case with 3-piece wheels, the Classic Steve being highly customizable, offers you the opportunity to stretch your imagination.

The forging process eliminates porosity and cavities resulting in a wheel that is stronger and more resistant to corrosion compared to cast wheels. So if you don't mind the higher price tag, you'll get a lighter and stronger wheel.

The one-piece, forged aluminum wheel is exquisitely crafted and highly polished to give your bike a touch of pure elegance.
