Anyone know what kind of wheels these are?

Size? and how much they are worth?

The pictures are really bad, they say shimano on them and either 105 or 195 something to that effect even close up I cant read what the number is.


Any help is greatly appreciated.

They look to be an "OEM color only" wheel based on the R550 series.

That's my guess either R550 or maybe R560.

how can you tell? Im trying to put them up on ebay so I want to get as much info as I can. I really know nothing about road wheels at all. I dont even know the difference betwen 650 and 700c.

What bike did you pull them off of? That might help.

My guess is based on what the R550 wheels look like. The white numbering on the rim says "550" or something like that doesn't it?

:rofl:

650c is a 26" wheel and 700c is 27"

WINNER! Shimano WH-R561 Wheelset, the identifying numbers were on the hub so I had been looking up the wrong numbers all along. Thanks for your help.

I guess they arent bad after all I only paid 100 for them at a bike swap. It wasnt until i read the part description that I realized the spokes were bladed. They are 650c i measured a little over 25" with the ever so accurate tape measure.

It's not a 650B wheelset. 700c wheels have an ISO of 622mm (24.48") the edge to edge diameter will be a bit longer than that, thus your 25" measurement.
