BST Carbon Fiber wheels!!
I am about to make the plung and finish the R1 w/ BST's CF wheels. Does know of a place to get the best price. Should I get the Alum. hub, or Mag. Hub. and do I need anything else to go with them.

Stick with the aluminum hub. Unless you're racing you won't notice any performance increase with the mag hubs.

Note also that magnesium is "for racing purposes" only, it is subject to heavy corrosion and will fail quite quickly.
Mag wheels should be dumped after 1-2 years for that reason, they are getting brittle.

motowheels.com was the cheapest place I could find. They also ran a special on tires at the time I purchased.

 That's an expensive proposition.
I know both street and racebike owners who have had their mag wheels for several years. As long as the wheels are checked annually (x-raying is one technique).

Get the aluminum hub and save a little cash. You will need a new rear sprocket when you order the wheels. I got mine at motowheels and ordered new sprockets from someone else.
