Last year I picked up a 2018 R1200GS and quickly came to the conclusion that I needed a spare set of wheels with different tires. I have a set with knobbies, and a purely road set for touring.
However, the purpose of this post is to discuss outfitting those new wheels, specifically front brake rotors and the pair of TPMS. BMW OEM rotors were quoted at $410 each and TPMS (RDC) at $250 each. I did a lot of research and found that Galfer Wave Rotor #DF702W at $170 each on Ebay, and BMW 3631-8532-731 TPMS at $15 each on Ebay both did the trick.
Dealer quote: $1310. My cost $370. Savings of $940.
If this doesn’t work out and I live to tell about it, I will revisit and revise, but in the meantime, I am buying gas and tires.
