I really love the look of the composite wheels found on many of the boats coming out now. Is that something that could easily be changed? Do they make them for the 44DS? Are they one size fits all? I have a 2012 44DS. Would the wheels from the 379 or 469 fit? Any advantage or disadvantage other than the look? I did notice the leather wrap on my wheels is starting to wear (maybe birds are perching on it and scratching it while I'm away), thought these might be more durable.
Thanks,
Rob

Seen their Admiral Cup and always liked it, but with 1400mm as the smallest size, not for many Jeanneau  The Transat is my next fav, but even the 900mm is too big for the SO40  Luckily for me I'm happy with my current wheels although i'll probably want to replace the leather or at least fix up the stitching |

Hoppy, Those are very cool wheels. I'll have to see what size is on my 44.
Ian, thanks for the link! Just what I was looking for. Unfortunately not too many places in the U.S. Carry them.
