I have seen pictures of gg bikes with cast wheels, perhaps from a Mito or RS125 (road bike) if I remember correctky. I also semm to remember someone using a Suzuki rear wheel, possibly from a 500 fourstroke twin?

If you search the forum, some images may appear.

You have several ways forward;
-Try to find / buy gg hubs and lace them up.
-Or you could lace 17" rims to the hubs you have.
-Try to find gg 17" wheels (there are some pair out there).
-Bring out your calipers and other measuring gear and find a rear wheel close to what you need, then go on modifying.

I haven't done this on a gg, but I have made a pair of PVM magnesium rims fit my supermono. That sure was some hours in the lathe and mill, but the result was worth the effort.

My son built a EC300 SM bike, he was lucky to find oem gg wheels locally. Added some isr brakes and got a nice am bike.
