My marchesini forged magnesium wheels were $4500. Might as well get it direct from marchesini then. Not sure if there's a difference though.Yesterday...

For the 4k I'm going to go with the new BST rims.... I already got my name on the list for them. Hoping they are even lighter than the Magnesium rims.

In my opinion you guys both suck and im beyond jelly that you guys can argue about mag or carbon wheels. Congrats

The last BST rims were around less than 0.2lbs lighter than the mag rims if I remember correctly. Difference was negligeable. But I was/am always worried the carbon would crack if I go over a pothole. So I always went with mag wheels. But would still love some BST's one day.For the 4k I'm going to go with the new BST rims.... I already got my name on the list for them. Hoping they are even lighter than the Magnesium rims.

I've heard that too. But not sure how reliable. Mine has been running for 4 years already.

I have been using Blackstone Tek wheels since 2003 on my street, now track only, RC51. No issues. They are pretty amazing!

Yes Blackstone Tek on my 1098 for a couple of years road and track and not a mark.
My mate bought my bike with those wheels and now he's up to two years on the road without any grief, I really loved that bike.
It would be great to easily post some images without having to join a hosting service.

The Panigale Superleggera ones are the best rims ever. My two cents.

If you spend some time on youtube and watch the test videos of CF rims you'll be ordering a set sooner than you think lol

Exactly, mag wheels have a lifespan that is difficult to determine. Top teams were swapping them frequently, bottom teams couldn't afford to. Hence, banned.
