Forged Magnesium Wheels - ZX14 ?
Thinking about forged magnesium wheels on my ZX14. I picked up that set of Marchesini from Ebay a couple of weeks ago. I can't believe how light they are!
Has anyone had experience with them on the street?

Seno........Marchesini wheels are absolutley first class, top of the line wheels. Those and the BST's are the "shizzle"............

I might just have my lips polished and centers powdercoated... then cleared. I will NEVER get polished lips that are not sealed.... Pain in the ass keeping them looking great.

Nice rims is right! The magnesium wheel spokes look a little thicker than the forged aluminum, naturally. I just hope they hold up on the street. I'm out of town this week, but will take some pics of the mag wheels this weekend. I need to change all the fluids, and maybe get the headers coated before spring. I have like 2 hours a week to work on it so by the end of March.
