I am going to guess that BST is the only maker of Carbon Fiber wheels for the Rocket.
They are at least $5000 a pair, maybe more now.
Just google BST wheels.

No about 4 grand for a pair but may no longer be available. Brocks performance is where the pictured ones came from.

This is a before and after pic of my partner's rims on a preloved bike she just brought. Very little effort to bring a shine back.
Try Autosol (we call it in Australia) it's made in Germany and an amazing product.
There was a whole load of Elbow Grease on that wheel.

Less then 10 minutes to clean the rim. Seriously this stuff is magic. The truckies here use it to clean their rims, fuel tanks and stacks. If it required elbow grease they wouldn't have time to use it
Another tip:
After cleaning the rims spray some INOX onto a cloth and wipe the rims to protect them from oxidising.

CF wheels are without EXCELLENT for track work. But on gravel-ly roads or anywhere else similar - they will get chipped. This can and may lead to accelerated weakening. We have seen stories (members) of them failing. Just saying.

I can remember when my rims looked that nice. I don't think it is just sea air that does it. I live far from the ocean and it took my rims down within a few months of riding. I should take them off and have them powder coated. I guess I should have read this thread before having new tires put on last week...
