    Forged wheels.

    I'm looking at a set of Marchesini forged rims off of a 2012 Tricolore. No imperfections and he wants $1400 plus shipping.

    Too much? good deal?
    thanks for any input.

    I think it seems like a good deal. Who knows how much shipping will be.

    i paid 1k for cast 5 spoke Mag marchesini's, no rotors for my 748.

    forged aluminum no rotors seems high. with rotors about right.

    I paid $1,100 for the forged M's on my 1098.

    Worth it on a Multi? Nope.

    Maybe right but there still going on the multi.
    Any reduction in rotating mass not to mention less work for m,y suspension is a win. And they are just nice stuff.

    I'm looking for a used set nearly perfect condition. I'm not in a hurry and I'm very fussy about things attached to my Ducati.

    I know... when is the last time you checked prices? They've gone through the roof. Single sided forged mag are now about $4000. So says Hardracing.com

    The cheapest Marchesini forged al wheels have an MSRP of $2800

    Typically the OEM units are heavier, etc, they're not the same PN or exact design as sold to customers at retail by Marchesini.

    Re: Forged wheels.

    cush drive can be different too depending on model, for example my 749. A/M Marchishoweveryouspellit use a cush drive like a normal bike. stock uses the pin type.
