magnesium wheels

[BANDITROD]

Ok men i am just wondering how strong these things are my mate is looking at putting some on his busa but wasnt sure how tuff they were we live in a small town with lots of potholes even on highway some cant be avoided (caused by grain trucks but if it wasnt for them the town would be fucked) thanks guys any info would be helpful:D:D

go with forged alloy. mag is brittle and also illegal on a road reg bike.

stickly race track use mate.

you may get away with it for a while but you don't want your wheel flying to pieces on the next high speed run he does

good luck

There is carbon fibre too ;)

Just brought 2 magnesium wheels for my busa, mostly for dragracing but after riding a mates busa with light wheels i know they will be on the streetbike between meets:D Realy noticed the difference , this is from the guy who couldn't pick the difference on a trackday after changing from a leaky old shock with frozen comp and rebnd adjusters to a kitted out shock [:I]

light wheels are awesome!! first time i hit the brakes it felt like i had 12 pots per side.

dont the aprilia factory models come out with magnwsium wheels standard?? if so they seem to last alright on the road

[gibbo]

I,m thinking Aprilias are forged aluminium
