DescriptionThe whole story▼
Forged by one of motorsport's most trusted names, the OZ GP Replica GP-8R wheel set brings race-grade construction and rigorous OZ Racing quality standards to your Yamaha YZF-R6 RJ27. Engineered specifically for the RJ27 chassis across the full 2017–2026 production run, these forged aluminium wheels reduce unsprung and rotating mass where it matters most — letting the R6's naturally precise, high-revving character shine even brighter on track and on road.
Key Features
- Forged aluminium construction from OZ Racing — the same manufacturing process trusted in MotoGP and World Superbike programmes — delivers an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio you simply cannot achieve with cast wheels.
- Dedicated model-specific bushings and spacers in Ergal 7075 alloy ensure a precise, rattle-free fit without any modification to the YZF-R6 RJ27 chassis.
- OZ High-Density rear sprocket carrier allows fitment of a purpose-designed sprocket for clean, efficient power delivery — Sitta 201H recommended.
- Space-saving 90-degree aluminium valves are included, keeping tyre changes straightforward and maintaining a tidy wheel profile.
- Available in five anodised finishes — gloss black, techno black, techno gold, titanium, and gloss gold — so the visual upgrade is as deliberate as the performance one.
- Complete front-and-rear set supplied together with all ancillary hardware, making the upgrade straightforward from the moment the parcel arrives.
Built to OZ Racing's Exacting Standards
OZ Racing has produced competition wheels for factory teams across Formula 1, rally and road racing for decades. That heritage shapes every GP Replica product: the GP-8R's multi-spoke architecture is drawn directly from the GP-8 race wheel design used in the Supersport class, then adapted for road homologation. Forging rather than casting the aluminium billet aligns the grain structure of the metal, producing a wheel that is stiffer, stronger and lighter than an equivalent cast component — qualities that feed directly into the rider's confidence under braking and mid-corner.
What Lighter Rotating Mass Means on a 600
The Yamaha YZF-R6 is built around corner speed, precise turn-in and tactile front-end feedback. Reducing unsprung rotating mass at both ends sharpens the response to steering inputs, allows the suspension to track the road surface more accurately and makes weight transitions between direction changes noticeably more fluid. At a track day, that translates into earlier, more confident braking markers and cleaner exits. On a mountain road, it means the bike feels more alert and more communicative without ever becoming nervous.
The result is a motorcycle that feels more focused — not because anything has been taken away, but because rotating inertia is no longer working against the chassis. This is the measurable, physical reason experienced R6 riders fit aftermarket forged wheels, and it is why OZ GP Replica sets appear in the paddock at club races and track days throughout Europe.
Available Finishes
The GP-8R set for the YZF-R6 RJ27 is offered in five anodised colourways, each applied to the forged aluminium surface for durability and depth of finish:
- Gloss Black anodised
- Techno Black anodised
- Techno Gold anodised
- Titanium anodised
- Gloss Gold anodised
Whether you are matching OZ wheels to the R6's iconic Yamaha Blue bodywork, building a blacked-out track weapon or running a gold accent theme, there is a finish in this range that completes the look without compromise.
Important Fitment Note
The OZ High-Density rear sprocket carrier supplied with this set requires a compatible rear sprocket. OZ Racing and Inter-Pace both recommend the Sitta 201H for this application. Please ensure you source the correct sprocket before fitting.
