Marchesini Wheels BABY!

Post by Bowches » Tue Dec 19, 2017 11:29 am

Bought these Marchesini wheels on 18 November and then I sent them to TPCS wheel Magnesium and Alloy wheel refurbishers.....

I bought the pair for a 1100 pounds on Ebay...

I sent it there to get checked for safety, they are a specialist service for magnesium wheels. Consisting of a chemical paint strip, alumina shot blast, dye penetrate crack check for magnesium wheels, chemical dip to prevent corrosion followed by an electro static powdercoat.

Got it back like last week or so.....I did only the front wheel and It cost me 125 pounds including postage....

I weighed the wheel with two discs on both sides but without the tyre and it weighted 5.3 kg....I remember a tyre weighs 2 kg and so total weight should be 7.3 kg and my stock front wheel is 10kg. The back wheel weighs 5.5 kg with the disc and sprocket but without the tyre. My stock back wheel weighs 11 kg.

Nice Weight reduction! I have not fit it yet as I am busy trying to find work....lol....

I have attached some pics in the next post
