Any luck, how are they holding up? I am thinking about getting carbon or magnesium. But the BST's. Let me know how they feel.
Thanks,

The CF are going to be lighter than the magnesium, but also cost more. Riding on carbon is incredible; the front end will float everywhere, and accelleration will be quite noticeable.

I'm going to end up homeless and hungry...but at least my bike will look good. I want these! Just another "gotta have" I have to add to my list!

I was considering these for my 2005 R1 - what is the weight savings front/rear over stock OEM rims (sans tires)?

I don't have the exact R1 wheel weights, but I have found something. This comes from an article in Webbikeworld and should give you a pretty good idea of where these wheels stand...
The approximate weight of the stock Brembo made wheels on a 916 are 9.76 lbs for the 3? front wheel and 13.3 lbs. for the 5? rear without wheel bearings, sprockets, tires or rotors for a total weight of just over 23 lbs. The Dymag carbon fiber wheels are 4.88 lbs for a 3.5? front and 7.1 lbs for a 5.5? rear for a total of about 12 lbs. Almost half the weight for ?? larger wheels!
