Since the Pani's are back to DSSA's the Marcheshinis info on the various websites says a set of 7 spoke's for DSSA's are 7.7 Kgs, no disks, no drive hardware.

DSSA?? What’s that mate? The Thyssennkrupp for a pair are 4.8kg bare…

Perfect. There is so much bad info floating around about wheel weights all should be be stated bare. As Ducati goes to the DSSA the wheel weights will now be pretty much the same as the BMW, Jap bikes etc. Better info on those than the ducati wheels.

For those who have BSTs, which variety of their wheels matches OEM Panigale carbon fiber: BST's matte or satin carbon fiber wheel?

ETA: I’m only seeing they are either satin or gloss.

BST Only makes the matching oem carbon style matte carbon wheels for the ducati v4 SP2 wheels & They weigh a little more & pay almost double what Rapid Teks cost and have to buy through Ducati.

EDIT : I thought the sp2 wheels were matte checkered carbon and not twill , I forgot you can get the same twill with rapid teks in the matte carbon too, But here's the pictures of BST SP2 in matte & both rapid tek wheels in matte and gloss.

I must admit that I wouldn’t get the Ducati ones anyway. I’m intending to get the Star TEK myself…. Just need the £4k plus to spend!!

Brocks Performance is the U.S. distributor. Their website shows satin and matte.

I was also looking at the Star Tek wheel so not the one Ducati Performance sells through the dealer. I was trying to figure out if matte in Star Tek or satin in Star Tea matches OEM carbon fiber better.

The OEM carbon fiber is satin without a doubt. If you want all of the parts to match perfectly, you may consider clearing coating them all at the same time with whatever gloss level you want.

this is exactly what i did...i even coated all the DP stuff to gloss...so everything is the same..great results with this product here:

this .... is hard as diamonds, not a scratch in 30k miles on some of my carbon...

I was thinking more of a paint. This is the 2K stuff I used. It's pretty nasty, definitely need to wear a respirator when spraying it. It sprays so much nicer and lays flatter than normal rattle cans. I did give all the matte carbon stuff I have a ceramic coating, mostly for extra UV protection.

I've used the duplicolor rattle can extreme gloss with good success refurbishing carbon fiber. I think they offer this in satin also. I agree the ceramic stuff is the solution. I did the clowncar with ceramkote. I'm going to try to con the oldest grandkid into doing beautiful's car.

The ceramic coating that you’re all taking about is ridiculously expensive over here in the UK

I'd say it's worth the bucks but maybe not the pounds. Is as advertised. Good idea to prepsol (prepaint wax and grease remover and hopefully not the VOC stuff) first. After I applied it, I double waxed with high tech carnauba. If I wasn't so lazy I'd do my car. These guys also make and aviation versions.
