How much do they improve ET/MPH?

Are the aluminum one any lighter then the stock busa wheels? whats the gain?

Im sure the magnesium wheels are lighter....whats the gain there?


Has anyone tried or researched the gain?

I did a back to back with a carbon rear wheel years ago
And it was an instant tenth,that was before
I was really much chop as a rider.

Mine dropped about .015 when I went to Marvics. I don't remember the MPH. However that was in combination with ceramic bearings at the same time.

On the dyno, swapping the rear wheel picked up 2hp in back to back runs. Axle nut was the same tightness on both wheels.

Some of the aluminum wheels are a bit lighter than stock.

Here is a thread that posted some weights.

were they more expensive then the ones for the stock wheels?

Did you notice any difference in steering with the front wheel?
