 |
|
Hi, new member here, normally on Ducati sites.
I have a set of Marchesini gold 5 spoke magnesium wheels, 5.5" and 3.5" from a DB3. I'm told they will fit a DB4 also. I bought them thinking I could adapt them to my 851 Ducati (not that easy), so I'm looking to sell them. Wondering about a fair price, etc.
If interested PM me and I can send pics |

Doesn't the DB3 Mantra use 3 spoke wheels ???

| Yes, I believe the stock OEM wheels on the DB3 Mantra were 3 spoke. Very heavy wheels. These Marchesini's were a custom upgrade. Lighter wheels allows the bike to turn more quickly and ride better because of less unsprung weight. |

The heavy wheels were the Antera's, not sure if they were used on the Mantra
The Standard Marchesinis were hollow 3 spoke .... yours may well be different though

Thanks for the clarification. I thought from looking at them in other pictures that they were 3 spoke Brembo's like on ducati 900SS's
Are these 3 spoke Marchesini's cast magnesium or cast aluminum |

Yes, the Brembo wheels are a copy of these, I think they're alluminium.

| Original Mantras has the Marchesinis and after the facelift they had the Anteras. There wasnt an upgrade option for the wheels |

I said "custom upgrade". Perhaps better terminology would be
"Aftermarket Upgrade". |

| No longer for sale. I purchased some 7075 T651 aluminum and am making sprocket/brake rotor carriers and putting on my Ducati. |
