Marchesini Wheels - To grace my SV or not...
 
Just got a pair of Marchesini Wheels from a Ducati 999,

Thought about putting them on my streetfightered SV (See Avatar),

Reckon they would look ace, Got a GSXR USD front end conversion at the moment and there isn't anything wrong with the look - but the marcehesinis would look better. (Anyone got photoshop?)

Just not sure if they'd be wasted in the SV? It'd be more a styling cue than a really noticeable peformance mod (though I know it would).

If I don't use them on the SV then I'm also building a GSXR750, maybe they'd be better on that?

What do you guys think?

No, don't. Because I've been planning the same swap and you'll steal my thunder :) Which ones have you got? The 5-spokes or the multis?

Oh aye, as for the choice- no reason you can't build them to work in either, or both, with spacer swaps.

ah... :shock:

Thought I'd hear from ya!

Got the 5-into-10 spoke,

Keep me updated with you progress and maybe we could work it out together, :)


My SV is great fun at the moment (though no in this weather) If the wheels'll make it better then I'm all for it!!

Ter, I stopped being surprised ages ago. He is like that mad scientists you hear about. There's always something brewing inside his head :roll: :wink:

Personally if I had a GSXR I was building as well, I'll use them on that. Depends on how far you are taking that(GSXR) I guess.


..but the truth is I think they'll look ****e on both bikes and you are better of giving them to me as one of your charity deeds for the year :shock: :lol:

Yeah but I have to finish the loft conversion first :lol:

I've just got a rear just now, and it's still not arrived- 5 spoker in Monster fitment. It's the rear that's going to be the hassle, but SV arms are pretty spacious. I love the look of the swooping 5-spokes, I think there's a reason Marchesini, Marvic and Dymag all make wheels that look basically the same- they know it looks best :)

Mmmm Marchesini... if it looks good do it. Dont often see them on an SV so its going to look good. Got any pics?
