How much lighter are a set of Marchesini rims over a stock set?
I checked a online store but they just list the rims as "up to 25% lighter"
I was interested in the more affordable aluminum.
thanks

I did my front BST complete. Being rotor and hardware, tire. 19.3. My new rotors are Almost 880 gm lighter the OE, over pound and half. Just did the weigh when I last working on mi bike. Apparently PV makes a forged magnesium that is as light as BST. PVM got as TUV cert for their wheel for 4 years, which was good. That was good, but just was sold on certain things I saw when I was, then my knowledge of Carbon.

Any weight is of benefit, and MOI is the real number. Stock wheels has become alot light with their thinwall casting methods.
