The lighter rims do make a big difference. I was surprised at the difference of acceleration out of the apex of a turn.

ive looked all day online, it looks like carrozzeria is the cheapest and is the lightest forged wheel. wish i could afford carbon fiber ones.

Yeah carbon fiber wheels are bad ***. A buddy of mine has them on his drag bike. If you let them sit in the sun for long periods of time they are known to start cracking. So probably not the ideal thing for most street riders.

yeah, i found a guy that has a set of wheels brand new in the box for an 05 f4i. i called carrozzeria and they said it would only cost me 100 bucks to have them machined to fit my 07 cbr 600 rr.
