I'm looking at a new set of Carrozzeria wheels again and I found them at a good price but this is the first time I've heard that you need a specific sprocket when you use them.

I know you guys have used these before so I need some help on this one. I currently have a SuperSprox 43 tooth rear and all the website offers as compatible is Vortex.

Supersprox and Vortex both offer specific sprockets for aftermarket wheels. Carrozzeria, Galespeed and PM all use the same hub for all of their wheels. PM for instance, uses a ZX-6/10/12 rear sprocket.
I don't think any of them use Suzuki hubs, so you'll have to get another one. SUpersprox definitely does make them for Carrozzeria though. Just call them!

i didn't mean those companies all use the same hub as each other, i meant each company uses the same hub for all of its own wheels. just to clarify...

yeah i was trying to look into it some more and i found out that they mostly use like a kawasaki or honda hub for their wheels. Not all the websites that sell the wheels tell you that. kinda screwed up if you ask me.
