Forged aluminum Carrozzerias are heavier than the forged aluminum Marchesinis.
Maybe Carrozzeria has a newer model aluminum wheel that's lighter. I've seen some expensive wheels on eBay that looked different in design and were more expensive that I remember them.

Well, since my snap-ring pliers are broken and I don't have the speciol tool for pressing ther bearings in and out, I woln't be weighing my wheels again. I'd say the bearings seals grease and hubs probably weigh 2 lbs per wheel.
I looked up my research which made me decide to jump on this deal for the Marchesinis.
Forged Aluminum: per specs on sales web sites...
Marchesinis front 7.64, rear 9.98lbs sale $1499
Carrozzeria front 7.80, rear 13.4lbs cost $1780

NEW Carrozzeria "Tri-R Race" wheels front 6.10, rear 8.5lbs (not yet made for Kawasaki) These are quite similar in design to the regular 10 spoke ones.

I really hate going back and looking at products once I have decided and made a purchace. It's almost certain that you'll see a better deal or information that would have changed your choice. Once you've put out a few bucks like this you deserve to be happy with what you're getting. It may not be the best of all possible decisions but it's yours.

Kind of reminds me of why I didn't get married for so long. I always thought something better would come walking around the corner any minute!

I probably got the wheels mixed up?-oh well.I'm goin for bst's next year.

Marchesinis front 7.64, rear 9.98lbs sale $1499

That is a amazeing price 4 what you get. Is the sale is 4 gold Wheels only ?

Carrozzeria front 7.80, rear 13.4lbs cost $1780

Sharky where did you get these #'s from? It would seem every where I look the #'s are diff. Carrozzeria has on there site 7.2 for the front and 12.7 for the rear, they claim this is 4 the busa but I see no #'s for the zx-14.`Not sure they are the same? Just curios. With the BST's I am blown away by the fact that both the front and the rear weigh in less than just our stock rear. Mass you must be loving it. Cheers.

Romans, that site probably says the wheels average 702 & 12.7. At Indy Superbikes they call out specific weights for ZX14 wheels as 7.8 & 13.4. Indy also offers a free Vortex sprocket with purchase of the wheels!
A1A Sportbike was the source for Marchesini weights.
The ones I got are on e-bay and they are Gold only. I didn't want to pay $700 more for blue! I think the gold will look good on my Midnight Saphire Blue bike. I might add gold levers and rearsets for accents too. I did order a gold chain. If I really want another color my local powder coater shop said he'd do both wheels for $150. I'm thinking I'll go with the gold though. They will be a little more obvious as "custom wheels" in gold.
I just love the way guys come up in parking lots to say how awesome the ZX14 is. I always say Thank You like I'm the designer or something. LOL
Carbon fiber just looks too brittle to me. It seems to damage easily. I hear about damage from mounting the tires even. I don't need the high tech enough to live with the worry.
Guess my tires woln't be here till friday. UPS ground service is the new "Snail mail."

I wieghed my stock wheels with everthing on them and them mounted everything on the Mar's.I also ordered the Stealth sprocket(dual metal).And I know that thing is pretty heavy but I want more than 10,000 miles out of my chain and sprockets!It did help with turn in and accelaration!!!!

I wieghed my stock wheels with everthing on them and them mounted everything on the Mar's.

I lost 4 lbs when I put them on my 14.

I must have missed something...4lbs. How is this possible. How do you account for the 6 to 7lbs of difference that should be missing from the total weight. Sprocket can't account for this big #. Bearings not installed in first #?

That's what I thought when I wieghed them.I know the tires where pretty new and the sprocket I'm using is kinda heavy.
