Marchesini Forged Aluminum 17 Inch Wheels - Honda CBR1000RR (2008~)

Forged aluminum Marchesini wheels in the 10 spoke design. Lighter and stronger than the OEM 5 or 3 spoke aluminum cast wheels but only a few ounces heavier than the 5 spoke cast racing magnesium Marchesini wheels. Anodized finish is verydurable.
The forged aluminum wheel is lighter than a cast aluminum and offers more stiffness. The rim is also a little lighter which reduces dynamic weight and adds to the overall performance.. The completely machined forged wheel also runs very true which improves the performance of the wheel.
The forged aluminum wheel is an excellent choice for rough roads.

REDUCING THE WEIGHT OF YOUR WHEELS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PERFORMANCE CHANGE THAT YOU CAN MAKE TO YOU MOTORCYCLE!
Lighter wheels will make a major difference in the handling of your bike. They will also greatly improve the acceleration and deceleration “braking” of your bike for the following reasons.
Static Weight: Each ounce of reduction of the wheels weight is equivalent to 4 ounces on the sprung part of the bike. Magnesium wheels will normally weigh at least 10 pounds less than your stock aluminum wheels. This is equal to 40 pounds of weight reduction on the bike.
