Hi Franky,

I have a set of Marchesini 3 spoke wheels that are surplus to requirements.

I bought them for my SB8rs, but ultimately opted for the BST route.

Weight wise they are halfway between Antera's and BST's.

They are refurbished, new paint, new bearings etc.

If you (or anyone else) are interested please PM me with your email address and I will send you some pictures. (must learn how to put them on here one day).
Ciao

Still looking. 'SB8RS' are nice but standard model type wheels, i'm after an aftermarket set.

Thanks Smile

I have a set of 6 spoke forged Oz wheels .
They are not bimota specific but sure could be made to fit.
I bought them to make a DB5R look-a-like , but then managed to find a DB5R so they been stored for the last few years.



Rear is brand new, never had bearings in it, front is used.

So what is the weight saving between the Antera's and the BST's?
