Title: Aftermarket 696 Rims Post by: Raux on September 21, 2009, 10:37:15 AM Alright... been thinking hard about this. i figured I need a new front rim and finding another stock Marchesini (undamaged) may be next to impossible... so
i'm gonna upgrade. I have seen four options but only the first three come in gold anodized so the last is out. Carrozeria, OZ(ITX), Marchesini, and the DP Marchesini pound for pound, dollar for dollar... what would you go with if it was a blank slate for wheels (oh and my rear Marchesini will be for sale) does anyone have the weights on them to compare? They are in order, most expensive to least expensive (notice i didn't say cheap) Marchesini (http://www.motowheels.com/italian/images/lg163315471.jpg) OZ(ITX) (http://www.motowheels.com/italian/images/lg11323794.jpg) Carrozeria (http://www.motowheels.com/italian/images/lg475117936.jpg) and the DP Marchesini for looks (http://www.ducati.com/MEDIA/ProductCatalog/m2340104/96850909B_L.jpg) Title: Re: Aftermarket 696 Rims Post by: 1313 on September 21, 2009, 11:35:49 AM The million dollar question.. Do they fit?
I like the Carrozeria. I don't know anything about them. The design just stands out at me. They are different. Title: Re: Aftermarket 696 Rims Post by: stopintime on September 21, 2009, 11:53:32 AM Carrozeria has the sharp edges, which makes them look very cool. For the front wheel there's less difference in appearance because of the brake rotors, but still a + for the sharper edges.
Did you decide about the gold/black? I'm liking black on most bikes even though I've seen some good looking gold rim bikes too. All of these are light weight, no? Me, I would choose the least expensive, but Carrozeria if they are similar price. BTW - this must be one of them luxury problems ;D Title: Re: Aftermarket 696 Rims Post by: Turf on September 21, 2009, 02:31:34 PM oz wins it by far for me

You should make this a poll and have everyone vote. [thumbsup] Title: Re: Aftermarket 696 Rims Post by: mrplease on September 22, 2009, 10:48:18 AM id say...
oz or dp marchesini mostly because i like the 5-spoke design. you know i have the dp marchesinis and i love them. i'm not exactly sure on the weight but i know the rear rim with the tire was about the exact same as stock. granted the rim is an inch wider and the tire is also a lot wider... but the looks speaks for themselves!
