This year I am looking to get some forged light weight wheels for my 22 BASE V4.

Looking into OZ GASS, but want to hear if the experts have any other recommendations.

Not really looking into carbon wheels.

Let’s see those wheel set up pics.

I have a friend listed his Oz GASS couple of weeks back, write to me if interested and I’ll put you in touch

I have used CF for decades. Million tire changes when racing. They take a beating . Just expensive. Front wheel with T-Drives you get the same weight as the forged wheel with stock rotors. Wheels and T-Drives are a nice performance touch. OZ are a great wheel

SCAMMER ALERT

If OP is under the impression his bike is rolling on steel wheels, I don't think the weight difference between aluminum/magnesium/carbon is going to matter that much to his lap times or PRs through the canyon. I'm betting that what is most important is going to be appearance and bragging rights.

My experience with carbon rims has been limited but the rim lip has failed on me twice with BSTs. Also, the eye rolls and sighs that trackside tire providers and bike shops give out when they see what they have agreed to take on is a bit off putting. Some tire servicers will charge a few bucks more for carbon rims.

Find a nice set of aesthetically pleasing aluminum rims, have them fitted with whatever rubber you prefer and enjoy your bike.

TK rotors are fantastic and look the part as well.

You're wrong there mate, I have just got off the phone from Ducati Manchester and the new 2025 V4 comes with forged Alli but the 2024 and below are steel wheels so to change the wheels to CF or forged Mag/Alli the handling will be off the charts. I've ridden a BMW with steel and then CF wheels and the handling was unbelievable, so much better...

Steel wheels, sure sure...this forum attracts morons like to

uh...its CAST or FORGED aluminum....

STEEL....good lord.

That being said, when i upgraded to FORGED it was a 7lbs total reduction in rotating mass on my 1299...at the time i didn't think that was a big deal...boy was i wrong...it changed the feel and track and street temperament of the bike completely.

one of the best upgrades ive done. I'd rank it as #2 upgrade behind a custom tune, then suspension upgrades forks, then shocks...

What's the weight loss from the 330 mm T'drives? I've run the 320's and really liked them. Hard to warp just a tad noisy.
