916 916 Wheels On A 996 ?

Discussion in '748 / 916 / 996 / 998' started by tricolore, May 14, 2017.

  1. Ive always liked the style of the old 3 spoke 916 wheels. Are they interchangeable with the 5 spoke Marchesini wheels on the later 996.

    Would they fit 996 Showa and Ohlins SPS forks..?
     
  2. Yes, they are totally interchangeable.
    The discs are also interchangeable.

  3. I have both three and five spoke wheels, the three spoke are noticeably heavier.

  4. There are two different rear wheel sizes. The earlier 3 spokes are 1/2 inch narrower than the later three spokes.
     
  5. Thanks guys....

    Which wheel bearings would you recommend ?
     
  6. Personally I would go with a well known brand as you will only pay slightly more for them such as
    Skf
    Koyo
    Nsk
    These are just brands that I know and there are likely lots of good ones I haven't listed.

  7. My 996 is on 3 spokes. Happy to swap ;)
     
  8. It's a bit of a thought at the moment but I'll keep it in mind when I get sorted...
