Forged Marchesini on my 2007.  Speeddog posted wheel weights recently and these were included.

none of those wheels were stock s4rs wheels.  i was there when he weighed them.  in fact, 3 of those sets were mine.  the forged 10 spoke "y" marchesinis were indeed aftermarket wheels.

we're talking about 2 different wheels.  trust me.  here's a pic of what we weighed and what he's referring to . . .

this is an aftermarket forged marchesini.  not stock on any bike.  i am familiar with the s4rs wheels but, they are a different style . . . here are stock s4rs wheels

i do not believe they are forged as the marking on the wheels are raised which is generally not consistent with the forging process - forging would yield a stamped or impressed marking. . . i'm bummed too i just bought an rs and now i gotta go wheel shopping

They are all cast -  S4R/S4RS

You need a set from a hypermotard, or upgrade your rear axle to a 1098 sized and use 1098s/1198s tricolore wheels.

I've been down this road before  ;)

Just get the BST's and be done with it  [thumbsup]

damnit.  i figured that was the answer.  i don't know if i've ever seen a set of those come up used.  i'm not dropping $3500 on wheels.  on twizzlers, fine.  but not on wheels
