Hi chaps..thought if give you all first refusal as my 888 buddies !!

I will shortly have for sale a brand spanking new satin black magnesium marchesini 5 spoke which was intended to go on my 888....9** fitment but I am assured it will fly on a T8 with minimal tweaks (probably just spacers)

Im looking for what I paid...£400 (list £700+)..more to follow in 2 weeks !

Ill post a pic when I get it in my grubby hands if you like..so..if you want your 888 to turn like its a supermono then step this way..!!!

Cheers
Nat

Erm, I'm confused...a wheel for a single sided swing arm will fit one for a twin sided swing arm ??

I had enough problems converting my front to an axle size that would fit nevermind anything more complex.

I'm interested to see how would work out !!!

Good luck - Frank

perhaps we are talking about the front wheel ?

[Iconic944ss]

Sorry Guys - I just assumed the axle diameter would be stated if it was just the front.

£700+ just for a FRONT !!!

and

GOOD LUCK

I feel much better now having paid £350 for mine on my 900SS - last year.

[Nattyboy]

Sorry guys, yes this is the front !.

Oh and Frank..I stand corrected..list price is 'only' a mere £624 !!

Having said all that - I've just remembered how STUNNED I was on the BST stand at the NEC....

The difference in weight between a Mag wheel and a full-on Carbon was unreal.
