999 999r And 999s Wheel Differences

Discussion in '749 / 999' started by Pfk, Sep 11, 2017.

  1. Hi Guys,

    What's the difference visually between the early type 999r marchesini forged wheels and the standard 999s wheels ?

    To me they both look the same.

    Thanks in advance

  2. Thinner spokes and much "crisper" and defined edges on the forged wheels.

  3. The early R wheels don't have thin spokes. This thread has a few pics. The difference between the R and base wheels is pretty obvious...

  4. Thanks Jussi
     
  5. Should the rear be 6" not 5.5"? iirc this applies to all 9R years?

  8. S wheels are not forged.
     
  9. Models archive page states 5.5" rear. Andy
     
  10. Yeah I know, loads of mistakes in the Archive section specs in general.
     
  11. No, they are 5.5".
