All i can say is if your thinking about making any improvements to your bike get new mag or carbon rims for your bike, i cant explain how much of an improvement the wheels have made its like a new machine....Kham hows the new ride? We need to get together for a good ride this season, cant wait to ride with everybody!!!! heres the old rims

**ducatiwheelie** · 07-08-04, 12:03 PM

**slingblade** · 07-08-04, 12:24 PM

How much lighter are those?

Nothing like removing rotating mass!

**benVFR** · 07-08-04, 12:26 PM

Those new ones look sick!

I saw the first pic and thought those were the new ones. I was going to say the originals looked like VFR rims.

i rode a bike with marchesini magnesium rims....

they make the hugest difference in the world. i was really impressed.

Enjoy 'em!

did you have any trouble with tire mounting?

**ducatiwheelie** · 07-08-04, 12:36 PM

already had um mounted, the best part was the tech said when he spun um to balance them they came up perfect, needed no weights......

OEM aluminum 5-spokes (996/998), 9.25 lbs front, 12 lbs rear and the new ones are NEW 10 spoke forged magnesium wheels : Front: 6.04lbs, Rear: 7.76lbs.....

Sweet stuff!!!!!

**Jank** · 07-08-04, 07:40 PM

Way Cool!!!

**Half Squid** · 07-09-04, 07:34 AM

Those are very sweet! You get the bling that has a sound like cha-ching! Hope you got a good deal, those are pricey! Wish I could bring myself to spend that much on rims as nice as those...

**craig** · 07-09-04, 07:39 AM

**DucRula** · 07-12-04, 08:26 AM

I realize that, but what I was saying is that seeing your bike with those rims makes me want another 996/998

I've been wanting to upgrade my rims, but I just can't bring myself to pull the trigger.
