I’d way mine stocks, but would have to remove tires to do that. Will look around. In the meantime, anyone else have accurate stock wheel weight?

Part of the problem here is everyone has a different method of weighing the wheels. Some weigh fully kitted, some with rotors but no tires, some with no equipment but bearings installed, some completely bare.
The rear SSSA wheel without tire and balancing weights is the only one I believe to be consistent because there's nothing to remove. That said, I have a pair of 939 Supersport OEM wheels that I could weigh, but I think they still have tires on them. I recall when I compared them to the 1098 7 spoke forged Ducati/OEM Marchesini wheels, they were remarkably similar in weight. The forged wheels were lighter, but buy only a 1/2 lb or so at either end. The difference will be in overall strength of the forged wheels, and where the weight is concentrated and how it effect moment of inertia.

Legitimately because it is.
I've seldom been called "Legitimate".

Agree, probably not significant weight loss by changing to 1098S wheels. I mostly did for strength and look.

Love these guys - good presenters, unbiased, informative and a right laugh 😂
OK, I dug my stock Supersport Wheels out of the bowels of my crawlspace to get an exact weight...
The weights are for bare wheels, no discs carriers, etc. I believe my bathroom scale to be quite accurate - but who knows!? 😇
Front 8.7 pounds - 3.95 Kg
Rear 14.3 pounds - 6.49 Kg
Total 23.0 pounds - 10.44 Kg
I found a post for Gass RS A wheels for Multistradas where the owner weighed them. He got

Front wheel in lbs=6.83
Rear wheel in lbs=7.84

Carlos checa replicas are limited edition launch of Regular Oz wheels with different colour , This newly launched OZ GASS RS-A wheels are lighter by 10-15% than similar sized Magnesiumwheels as per OZ claim . Yes they are very light with intricate forging which I could feel & See them ...

I've decided to go with the gold anondized Marchesini M7rs Genisi , a bit more than the gold painted, but stronger and the finish is not so fragile. I have painted on my Porsche and it's no fun when they get a rock chip. The gold against the red looks great to me

Now over a year later, other than the obviously look gorgeous, was there a noticeable difference with the marchesini rims compared to stock?

Also, does anyone know if the wheel fittings are different between the 939 and the 950? I’d assume they’re the same but I’m sure that there’s someone on here who actually knows for sure?
